Edgar,
Who's "we"?
A teacher does not confirm one's Buddha Nature: you do.
A teacher confirms your realization of it, by testing you:
If you are only half-baked -- then, for your own good, and for all Beings --
it's back in the oven / Ch'an Hall with you! This is Compassion at work.
That's the way it is in our Way.
You've been telling us all along that you never had this experience. I believe
you! And, I think so does Bill!. There may still be time for you to start a
practice with a teacher. Life is full of potential, and it's best to go for
it. You won't learn anything: it's what you realize that counts.
Good luck.
