I feel this way about Hazrat Inayat Khan or Anandamayi Ma.
Great Eric. Perhaps this will help with the saints/masters u follow;
The technique of contacting a Guru is to concentrate on his picture in the middle of your forehead (the Kutastha or Christ Conscious center) and keep on deeply visualizing him, affirming and asking within: “Thou art my Guru; I am thy disciple. Thou art ever with me. Please introduce me to God through your divine perception in unity with Him.”
The stronger your visualization and Faith are, the greater you’ll find the manifestation of God in response to the above-mentioned affirmation and prayer demand to Guru. It doesn’t make any difference whether the Guru is in the body or in another state of existence. You will contact him, and God through him, anytime, anywhere, if you have faith and the continuation of your prayer and affirmation of his presence is deep.
Anything saint can be contacted by concentrating on his picture the picture. The picture of a saint is a replica of the vehicle up as a illuminated soul; and even if the soul of a saint is in the other world, in his omnipresence he knows and feels the devotee who sends an urgent call to him through his picture. Though a liberated master or guru is everywhere, through his picture you will find it easier to establish a vibrational link.
