OK. I am a firm believer though others may disagree that we get whatever we need, and if we want a good teacher and are persistent we will find one. And if we really want enlightenment, we get it. The confusion for the West comes in because our technology teaches us that results can be instantaneous, with minimal effort and focus on our part (e.g. the difference between taking an ox cart vs a jet plane from NYC to Chicago). So when we begin seeking for enlightenment, nearly anyone saying the right stuff will convince us, for a little while anyway, that they have the answer. The trick is to avoid getting discouraged and declaring the whole concept is crap, or settling for much less and moodmaking, and instead, being absolutely persistent in reaching the goal of liberation, which whether one is in heaven or hell, can be achieved. ------------------------ Yahoo!
