The Value of Human Teachers in New Age Spirituality
In the world of new age spirituality, there is a lot of bullshit, guru chasing, and idealization followed by tearing down when flaws are revealed. However, every person has little truths that can be extracted and woven into one's own tapestry of what resonates and works. While believing in fantastic stories of masters and teachers from a different time and place, it is important to not rely solely on their miraculous achievements. Real life teachers can offer valuable lessons, like savoring the taste of chocolate to find happiness and joy in the present moment. It is crucial to honor where we are in life and be realistic about the progress we can make through consistent practice, even if it may initially feel frustrating.
