The Master smiled at his small entourage of hopeful followers. They were fisherman, trades-people with a smattering of middle-class folk, all seeking an end to economic, social and religious domination by outside interests. “The Kingdom of Heaven is within” he carefully stated in his most carefully crafted Aramaic. “Is that it?” asked someone in the … Read more
There was once a Master who loved nothing more than to help others self-realise. One day a young man approached and asked for the older man’s help.
