Spiritual Teachers
Now, before anybody else does, I'm going to accuse myself of hypocrisy. I've been writing messages like this one to clarify various spiritual concepts and you could label me as a spiritual teacher if you felt like it. Where's the hypocrisy? Well, in this piece I'm going to explain why you don't need spiritual teachers at all.
The Truth that Is Everything Is Within You. It's already Here and no amount of beliefs or teachings are going to reveal this Truth. It Is Who You Are, and beliefs only get in the way. Why would you need to believe you are something when you already Are? You want a Guru? Gee (G), You (U) Are (R) You (U)! When you listen to a spiritual teacher you feed into a subtle illusion. You put Truth on the outside like it's something to be discovered. Your own Awakening then depends on outside things and it becomes something to be achieved. You don't achieve Awakening, You Are Awake. Or you are not, your choice.
There's no magical phrase I could say to enlighten a person. You Are Love. Did it work? Are You Love? If you felt anything it's only because it resonated with the Truth Already Alive Within You. A true teacher only assists one in finding what's Already Here. A true Master doesn't create followers, but fellow Masters. Many have come to this Planet and told you we're All Equal. Did Humanity hear them? Did you? Are You Equal?
Humanity has been told they're unworthy, that they're less than what they should be and there's something they have to do to become Who They Really Are. In the West it's called salvation, in the East it's called enlightenment. The process for achieving either is slightly different, but the illusion they reinforce is the same. Both put the Truth outside of you and tell you what you have to do to Be Who You Already Are. It's a good scam they've got going, and there's a million spiritual teachers willing to perpetuate this lie. Pay taxes, give to Caesar what is Caesar's. Give to Love what is Love and then you're Free.
Spiritual teachers can be quite dangerous, as are many supposed “healers”. Any industry so dependent upon people being sick is ripe with corruption. If you do too good a job, you're out of business. I'll draw a parallel with the medical industry. If they truly prevented disease, they wouldn't have much business. It's far more profitable to treat diseases than to prevent them, so they focus upon medicating the effect instead of eliminating the cause. This is the exact same way most “spiritual” teachers work. They say some stuff to make people feel better about their lives, but they don't address what made people feel bad in the first place. This keeps them coming back every week or forking over another $300 for the next spiritual retreat. Would you like your therapist now? In related news, it's recently been discovered that while acetaminophen takes away the pain, it destroys your liver in the process.
A real spiritual teacher assists you in finding Yourself. They help you find, not their truth, but your own Truth Within. Teacher is a mediocre word for someone who does this, spiritual sponsor would be a more accurate description. Or reciprociter. Personally, I'd call them Friends and Family, that's Who We Are. In Equality, who has greater Equality? The one who knows more than somebody else, or the one who shares what they understand?
So why do I write this stuff if I'm not trying to teach people anything? Well, why tell someone “Hello”? Why say to another “I Love You”? Why not share the Truth you find with Everybody? It's through sharing Freely, not trying to teach or convince others, that our own sense of Truth flowers. It's when we give of ourselves that we truly give.

word up man..
people need to walk thier own path.. everything is inside, but you cant boil the pot before its time.
All you can do is exist as you do.
Spiritual teachers are part of the puzzle too.

To those who say we need teachers, why do we need students? What if we all learn from each other? I'm sure most of you realize that is the way it really works. How about we all be Equal instead of having students and teachers?

Friends and family give us shoulders to stand on as well, why do we need teachers? What if we all find Truth within ourselves?

Why do teachers find it nessicary to teach?
It is who they are.. it is their calling.
So why is this calling so useless? Well.. is it?

I'm going to quote what I said above:
"A true teacher only assists one in finding what's Already Here."
If they don't do that, they should find another calling. Most teachers don't set people Free, they bind people with their beliefs. And those who do set people Free I wouldn't call teachers. Assistants, helpers, co-creators, lovers, friends, and family yes, but not teachers. Only your ego can consider itself a student, your Higher Self is already a Master.
I'm not going to feed into the student/teacher dualistic paradigm, it only keeps people mired in illusion.

I'm sure if you raised a person in a little box all their life they'd think that was the whole world.

I was raised in a box.. it is my predisposition to live umongst boxers..
They are hardnosed, and I am reminded everyday of how sad ignorance is.
As soon as you try to raise up.. someone will find the need to pull you down, so you can be miserable like them..
I have experienced things which I have to keep to myself, because if I dont, people will think I am a freak..
loneliness is real..
I am not sure about all this other stuff.
