Yes, I tend to trust the "non-public" enlightened ones rather than the self-proclaimed gurus...but then, I always had a soft spot for Krishnamurti and his philosophy.
Anyone who teaches people to be their own guru is allright with me. it's the ones that want you to put them on a pedestal that I don't trust.

And I'll say the same thing to you that I did with LostMyMap. With masters, what if it's not about coming but more about coming out? Years ago I was talking to a mystic who said that he would see enlightened people all over the place, especially in cities, just walking down the street or standing on the subway platform. He mentioned that most enlightened individuals are quietly living their lives, only some become public masters.
I mean, if Jeshua were alive and helping people quietly awaken for the past 2,000 years, how would you suggest that he become publicly known? And under what circumstances and for what reason should he even come out? The last time he was publicly teaching, followers made it much more about him and less about the actual understanding and wisdom - what do you feel would happen this time? It will be interesting to see what happens. |
