By the way, one of my reasons for asking the "three questions" I posted not long ago when meeting new spiritual teachers is to determine whether students are "allowed" to realize enlightenment. You'd be amazed how many paths to enlightenment, led by charismatic teachers who claim enlightenment, never manage to produce an enlightened student. That is, they never recognize one. When one appears, claiming the experences that all of the students are hoping for and working towards, he or she is instead drummed out of the organization for heresy. Go figure.
