Is an Ascended Master "some dude who is really good at spiritual stuff" or a virtual demigod who answers prayers and saves people á la Jesus?
The anonymous esotericist in this clip argues that the classical Masters of Theosophy were real flesh-and-blood people who had reached a higher level of spiritual development. The actual master is the divine spark within the physical body, not the person as such. And while "real" Ascended Masters might perhaps exist, an obsession with them is unhealthy since every human must save himself/herself by his/her own efforts.
Quite interesting, if you are just a bit critical of the proliferation of "masters" and other channeled entities typical of the New Age milieu, especially the Summit Lighthouse-inspired subsets. Many of these masters (one of them named Commander Ashtar) are surely entirely fictitious...
