Bill, As if reality didn't slap you around all the time?
The problem with you guy's insistence on having a teacher is it easily becomes a sop and and an excuse for not doing the work yourself. Insistence on a teacher is the sign of a dependent personality, and as long as you wait for a teacher to enlighten you you will never be enlightened... There is only one teacher and that is reality itself.... Sometimes it helps for someone else to point to reality to help you recognize it. But for many people so long as they fix their gaze on the teacher they are blind to the reality all around them.
