Your Answers

I would have to say that all your answers about the qualities of a disciple are in the right direction, but there is one that really stands out in my mind:

Alex: "I discovered three new mysteries of the universe and found Madonna's naked body hidden in the arrangement all at the same time."

I must admit that Brian went a step further:

"If you stare at Alex's message long enough, you can see a perfect rendering of a disciple. Funny thing is, the disciple is dancing in a field of marshmallows, and is wearing pink fuzzy bunny slippers."

Seriously, I'm sure we would like Alex to post the real translation of this some time.

Getting back to reality here, I have tabulated your answers and arranged them below. Even if you have read all the posts, I think it would be worthwhile to read these again.

Glenys complained that she could only answer three, but I didn't say you couldn't name more than three, which some of you rebels went ahead and did.

A strong commitment to serving humanity at the expense of fulfilling one's own desires/needs i.e. a group rather than individual consciousness.

A single-minded dedication to the Path of Light and the implementation of the Plan for mankind

A certain level of Soul Contact and Christ Consciousness so that one can be considered to be reliable, intelligent and sensitive to the promptings of the Soul

GOOD KARMA or a reasonably balanced account is very important, because you can't help to increase the system if you tend to need more help than you give.
Rick

That last one was especially good Rick. Few would have thought of it.

So have we left any out? If you think we have, go ahead and post them and I'll give my two cents worth in my next post coming shortly.
