Yes.
Ever hear that if you meet Buddha on the road, you must kill him?
Even masters are in a state of evolvement. If a gifted student comes their way, they will do all that they can to help that seeker propel themselves forward. There is no kind of competition. Everyone evolves at a different rate. This is seen clearly as inner vision opens.
We all belong to a central source. A godhead. A divine mind. Composed of all the minds of all the souls ever created. Souls can be compared to individual brain cells. Little power by themselves. But link them up in the proper way, they can build worlds upon worlds.
There is a natural attraction back towards the godhead. But given your power of creativity, you are able to assemble many obstacles along the way. This is a result of having a small perception of the world.
To be a seeker, is to have a wide enough perception of how intimate you are with cause and effect. Once this is understood, you begin to live your life according to that refined perception. Some people change overnight. Most will change with the passing of the years. Like a flower that unfolds in slow motion.
The only way to widen perception is to move beyond yourself. You must learn to feel the pain and joy of other people as if it were your own. And when you have done that, you must feel the animals, and the planets, and the cosmos.
Because it never really ends. How far do you want to travel beyond the comfort zone of "self"?
You can cling to that identity, or you can give it up in order to have it all.
Your human identity will die with time anyway. Eternal life is your true nature.
How long do you want to play this game?
