Many are Called But Few are Chosen.

There are two very ancient axioms that I want to share here today, the first is the title of this blog,"many are called but few are chosen "and  the other one is "when the pupil is ready the master appears" what does this actually mean?
Visions appear in ones minds eye of a Zen master sitting on mount Fuji in Japan and about to initiate a loyal disciple into the inner mysteries of reality ,or  perhaps a great Yogi master sitting naked outside a cave high in the Himalayas about to anoint his chosen one into the inner mysteries of life.
I came across these two axioms about forty years ago and was attracted to try and understand what they really mean ,it  was like a magnetic thing for me and it also disturbed me as well ,as  the very premise that these axioms were founded on seemed flawed in a way as to suggest maybe favouritism
and who were these  choosers  of the chosen? Who gave them the right to pick  and chose? The more I meditated on this seeming anomaly there seemed to be an answer presenting itself ,coming  from what I become to know as the higher self or soul.
The answer is really very simple (do not imagine that simple means easy-it does not) we all are the chosen ones and it is OUR higher self (the soul) that calls us ,however millions of us CHOOSE to ignore these inner promptings and carry on regardless to our huge cost, the price for continuing to ignore these inner pulses of the soul are sickness and disease heartache and pain.
Each of us here on Earth get at least SEVEN promptings or pulses from the soul, usually in the form of a crisis arriving in your life ,its  then what you do about it decides you own fate.
with warm regards Michael.
