Aloha 4space,
Yes, you are working with Master Lin if you call on him during your mediations and healings.
There are also a number of ways to get from California to New York. One can walk, ride a bicycle, drive a car, take a bus, take the train, or even a plane. Each has it's benefits and limitations.
If you'd like to get the level III and level IV experience, you can continue working at home in your personal retreat with what has been begun in the Level I & II courses and still get there. One could also take a live class, weekend retreat, or like some of the participants in this forum, a 6-Day Healing Retreat.
The level III and IV experiences are there, as Chunyi would say "To give you a little boost" on your development path.
I hear both "I am meant to go" and "I don't want to have to...", loud and clear in your post.
I've changed the reference in the old post above so that you have an accurate link to his classes -if you choose that mode of transportation.
Much Love, Shawn
