Spiritual Masters

I sometimes ponder on the great spiritual masters of the past, these great minds that literally changed the way we look at the world around us. Profound spiritual teachers like Steiner, Gurdjeff, Levi and Blavatsky, I have at times wondered who living in this day and age can be looked at in that same light? Who in this day and age could make anywhere near the same impact that these greats had once made? Who living today could write a masterpiece with the same transcendent quality of the "Secret Doctrine" or even "Beelzebub's tales to his Grandson"?

Certainly there are a handful of great esoteric writers living today that understand much of the higher aspects of the spiritual path; people like the enigmatic; David Fenton Hall, Nick Farell, Pat Zalewski and Mark Stavish. But will we ever see another master the caliber of a Rudolf Steiner or a Gurdjeff in our lifetime? Sadly it is quite possible that days of the great spiritual masters are no more and its up to us mere mortals to make do with what we have. Because no matter how enlightened our guide is; the path we must travel is still our own to take.
