Spiritual Teachers

[BestLifePossible]

Why do some seem to try and diminish others who are say more "popular", after all they are all pointing to the same truth with different ways of expressing it, just found a Websire called "Electric Spirituality" where it is based on Critisicims of other teachers like Tolle, Adya. And others books he gives "2 Star reviews ," surely all that matters is finding someone who resonates with you? 

Bearing that in mind, who are the teachers that resonate/ have helped you the most on your journey?

I quickly scammed through that site, and it seems the guy is trying to have some visibility by criticizing others. Buuu! I wouldn't waste my time with someone who would do that tbh. 

He has even written two books. Beyond the Power of Now and The Book Eckhart Tolle Does Not Want You to Read. Come on... you really need to use those lame marketing tactics? 

Btw - There's an interesting site called http://gururating.org/. Too gossipy imo.

I started with Jack Kornfield, then Thich Nhat Hanh, and finally Osho. All of whom I fell into the trap of believing them too much. Like, I'd want to change all my life around just because they said something. 

Today, I just let in what naturally resonates with me. So even if an "enlightened" master said something but does not seem right to me, I discard it.  

I tend to prefer western teachers, because a lot of those really enlightened people (such as the Dalai Lama) do not understand what a lot of us in modern age go through.

For me, none.

It was said about Osho. I also like him a lot and what he is talking about. But he is gone. For now I study from Genadiy Givin in Givin School https://en.givinschool.org. I feel he is so wise on spiritual paths. His students get a good results in a short period studding from him. You can try this school thought visiting https://retrit.org/en .

@BestLifePossible the best guru is the Spirit, and sometimes I feel like I know him so much better because of the religion I was brought up in. It feels like I've been reading a foreign treasure map all my life and then one day Leo hands me the key to interpret what it means, and all of a sudden everything makes sense. By far, God is the best guru and learning how to hear his commands is imperative. 

Leo is by far the best human teacher I've ever laid my eyes on. You've got some good teachers like Eric, mooji, sadhguru etc. But the thing I hate about those guys is, they're quite fake. There's a really easy way to tell if someone is being fake. If they're constantly nice then they're being fake. Not even Jesus was constantly nice. Love in it's purest form is very aggressive and heavy handed... extremely heavy handed actually. Am I saying those other gurus arent accurate? No, especially not mooji, what I'm saying is this...I'd rather have someone like Leo who doesn't give a fuck about my opinion, who only gives a fuck about the truth. 

Trying to be nice is the ego's method to try to win you over, because it does not trust that what it says will win you over. This is a mistake...by speaking the truth loudly and bolding without giving a fuck, you will attract people who are true seekers and who are ready to die for the truth. 

That's a very interested insight indeed...if someone is being confident, blunt, bold and heavy handed with their words, they are the most humble ones. The others have been duped by Satan. They feel as though they're message is not pure enough, so they compensate with kind, gentle, words that are lovely and affirming etc. Fuck 'at, gimmi the truth or get out of my way
