Critique arises because Phyllis Furumoto is not offering a training how to initiate Masters. Then, in 2005:
I had to, the voice of the Master Body was coming through these women and I needed to somehow do it.
Since then Phyllis offers her support regularly. The central decisions remain with the Masters. They merely learn how to assess candidates, some techniques and the Master initiation. This has proven successful because Masters allow candidates to mature in their own good time.
Quite often we know who we are and have grandiose ideas. But when you know who you are not, then you know that you’re a master because you know what your boundaries are.
The same is true for the Master community. As it gets clearer about its boundaries the people who come to be Masters are also clearer.
In the late 1990s Phyllis had stopped initiating Masters because Masters could no longer sustain their living with seminars. Meanwhile she has resumed because candidates come for reasons of their own spiritual growth and because more and more see it as their calling.
This change shows the maturity of our practice.
