The Importance of External Authority in Spiritual Journeys
I know so many people in spiritual journeys who like have a teacher and I don't fully understand why. There's some part of myself that's like as soon as like a teacher enters the frame, there's some sort of like you're giving yourself up in some way. You're looking outside yourself. Maybe that's the frame shift people need in order to be aggressive. But then again, if you want to do a specific type of meditation, just like if you go to a golf teacher to learn how to swing better,. That could be useful, but then you have to make sense of it yourself.
