At any time in history you will see people, you cannot see anything at all, who are so unassuming that they’re invisible and they are so dominant that they can’t even be seen and they are so powerful that they cause others to act as if they were invisible. They are very invisible. When we become aware of these people, we call them “spiritual masters.” Their role is to act as the “center of the universe,” or, in other words, they are the “centers of gravity” for the rest of us. They are the centers of power within our consciousness that allow us to see the things that would otherwise be hidden from us and that allow us to make decisions according to a different reality than the one we are actually experiencing.
