Am I the only one who wonders where they come up with their sayings? For example, I just had a tea bag that said "Where there is mastery, there is no mystery". What?? Then watch me run screaming AWAY from mastery, of anything!

This isn't the first time. Just my two cents.

Blessings,

- sounds like they may be invented by those who think they have all the answers

- it is the questions that matter, of course.

- and in the same vein?? What is it, exactly, that someone who refers to him\herself as a Reiki Master has actually "mastered"???

Dear Aronaya,
Im a sap for sayings like that!!
Perhaps the saying was refering to true mastery of a subject;where one has more knowledge & experience than any other living being in that field. Which of course means there are very few masters of anything around. And if one perceives themself as knowing & experiencing all there is, then the mystery for that person has gone, no?
Illusions are shattered with knowledge & experience and we come to know what IS rather than wondering what COULD be.
I could keep going but I will get one of those "thinking what infinity means" type of brain strain headaches!! :)

peace & joy,
holobon
