I met with a type of teacher today.. seem to be gifted with much higher information/thinking.. and he told me a few things about myself..

1. I was hiding (not the first time I've heard this in a way)
2. That I may have a belief structure to support that hiding..

While I believe said teacher was true and not lying.. (invalidation) I did not resonate with his message much.. it was like sitting listening to hours of information I already knew

and not finding too much insight/wisdom.. except I did listen to him root out a nice belief structure in a woman..

I guess what I'm saying at core was.. in this teachers presence.. I did not get those highest excitement, goody-good feelings.. things I would take as a sign to go with; push on

So that brings up the issue.. either
a. I do not resonate with this teacher or his message (definitely uses different terminology)
b. I have a belief system in place blocking those feelings.. information..

This teacher like all "new age" peep's charges money for his services.. and to date in 3 years of new age study.. I have probably invested a total of about $300 (was $150 about 2 months ago tops).. so I wouldn't be lying if I said I don't like to give out money unnecessarily (possible feeling of lack) but this teacher will cost $240 per session..

So it brings me to the crux of my question.. should I assume cause I don't have giddy-giddy/positive feelings this teacher is not for me? or should I spend time rumming around myself and find belief systems that might not serve me?
