From ancient times disciples existed more or less hidden. They kept quiet to avoid persecution: detection often meant death. Hermits went to hills, forests or deserts to be alone, safe and simple. Kabalists built private spaces in attics or basements. Those seeking more structured practices went to monasteries or convents. The Piscean Era and the coming of Christ Jesus brought a more open style to the public. Eastern Gurus and their disciples had been more open in speaking of the expanded reality they had discovered. As each age is a turning point in some way, the Avatar of the Piscean energies suggested we are all sons and daughters of the most high.
