Being one means that I understand you, and vice versa. We, two, support and agree with each other; we, two, know why the other does things in a certain way. But it doesn't have to be the same. It's not like the world's monopolies and dictatorships. That's not oneness, and it's not what I mean. To be one occurs when both understand that the other is always doing the right thing in the way they speak and act. Under similar circumstances, both will respond similarly. The words can be different, but they will have the same meaning. One may not do things in the same way but the direction and goal are almost the same. The results will be almost the same.

    The Quan Yin Method is only the starting point, then the Master gives each one individual extra methods as well. you know, extra "pushes". Some cry, some laugh, some feel happy, some feel a little bit of remorse, some -- things change all the time. You can't always feel happy, or you can't always feel regret, you just feel improvement each day whatever situation you are put in.

    The Quan Yin Method is a complete one. It gives you everything that you need. It guides you in every direction that you want to go, and gives you all the kinds of instructions that you need for your growth -- inside and outside.
