Yes,...an apprentice master can be recognized through their intent on going beyond belief. A true master has awakened to their Unborn awareness,...an awareness without belief.
A true master is wholly compassionate, and thus largely unrecognize in culture. A wholly compassion one is intolerant of all things that step between people and their direct experience. Ego seeks moderation, tolerance of beliefs, and the idea of diversity,...and thus instructs its slaves to attack those who have uncovered true compassion.
