Phil Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 @MetaSage I’m not convinced you actually read what @Jonas Long posted so to speak. Kinda seems like enabling or pro-delusion. Not you of course, just the comment. Quote Mention YouTube Website Sessions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a question or? Maybe you can ask a bit more direct A rant about students and teachers. The tendency to look for fantasy rather than grounded communication. Basically, what criteria is followed? Agreeableness, likability, honesty, etc? Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Maynor Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) 35 minutes ago, MetaSage said: The tendency to look for fantasy rather than grounded communication. There's a little bit of fantasy in grounded communication and a little bit of grounded communication in fantasy. This idea that a teacher is standing on solid ground is a myth. Spirituality is not like science. You could create any spirituality and ultimately everyone has the right to create their own spirituality. You are the authority, and teachers are merely influences on you or examples for you to consider on your spiritual path. Copying a teacher is like learning someone else's lick in music, you don't want to play it verbatim but you want to use it to create better licks of your own. You want to be able to play the music that comes out of you. Spirituality is both integrous and original.

You’re never going to be aware. You’re never going to be conscious. You’re never going to be awake. You will never actually be kind, selfless, loving, whole or good because it’s impossible. Why? I get a sense of what you mean, but still would like clear elaboration. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
