Hi, Lapis...
I've been reading your good posts, too, for about a year.
You are so right, we must look only where we are going. That's how we realize that all the bits and pieces are only aspects of one whole. And how we simplify, changing confusion into calm resolve, I believe.
Daisy uses the phrase "...resonates with you..."
I've been stumbling around looking for sure-fire 'proof'. (There are lots of skeptics among my acquaintances. Mostly I just keep quiet; or mention quietly. Big grin.)
Did you get 'signs' that you could trust, Lapis, as you developed your path? Did you get itchy to 'arrive' at some level of certainty?
Oh, please tell! Or send me to an earlier post.
In 1938, when I was an infant, an older lady called me an 'old soul'. That has always pleased me, though I have no idea what it means. I read the term 'an indigo' the other day, on these boards. That, I assume, means a thinker. Boy, am I a thinker! But, I decided that the brain really isn't 'in charge'. It only thinks it is.
Every one of our trillion or so cells knows its job and purpose, and our history back to our earliest ancestors. We are the finest of our species ever to walk this earth. But the brain/conscious mind thinks it has to figure it all out, all over again. Talk about tunnel vision!
Why, oh why would you suggest 'Master'?
But you may be kidding, of course. Hm-m-m-m...
My best,

I get it! Because I am looking where I want to go, not where I don't want to go.
Well, while I am in the good company here, anyway.
I can't tell you both how I value your responses. Just read this thread through again, and I haven't had that kind of feedback in a long time, maybe not ever.
The explosion of insights I had last night, Daisy, were wonderfully simple, and so clear that I was humbled.
Interestingly, they were about the future of all people, and not directly about myself. I know that, if I can help others, my own way will be in that same way.
Peaceful and refreshing sleep, my friends.
