Many lives many masters
“How is it that you say all are equal, yet the obvious contradictions smack us in the face: inequalities in virtues, temperances, finances, rights, abilities and talents, intelligence, mathematical aptitude, and infinitum? The answer is a metaphor. It as is if a large diamond were to be found in each person. Picture a diamond a foot long. The diamond has a thousand facets, but the facets are covered with dirt and tar. It is the job of the soul to clean each facet until the surface is brilliant and can reflect a rainbow of colours. Now some have cleaned many facets, and gleam brightly. Others have only managed to clean a few; the do not sparkle so. Yet underneath the dirt, each person possesses within his/her breast a brilliant diamond with a thousand gleaming facets. The diamond is perfect, not one flaw.The only differences among people are the number of facets cleaned. But each diamond is the same and each is perfect. When all the facets are cleaned and shining forth in a spectrum of lights, the diamond returns to the pure energy it was originally. The lights remain. It is as if the process of the diamond is reversed, all that pressure released. The pure energy exists in the rainbow of lights, and the lights possess consciousness and knowledge. ALL of the diamonds are perfect.
