And I see the wisdom lying in the balance of those two approaches. You need experts in the field of study to point the way, but you've also have to trust your own experience. Just think, Buddha would still be sitting in the dome sleeping if he hadn't trusted his own experience and left his early teachers. He didn't condem them, he simply recognized that for him, their teaching was not effective after a certain point to fulfill what he was seeking. To leave a teaching/sadhana for another after decades of sincerely following it without the end result being achieved is wisdom, not folly. It also is a great achievement and transcendence of the mind, especially if one had become enslaved to the previous teaching. > > > > > > > > To subscribe, send a message to: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Or go to: > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ > and click 'Join This Group!' > Yahoo!
