Question about asking for help

[electroBeam]

I feel like if you want to be successfully spiritually or career wise, you need to get help, or be taught by someone else. I think that you cannot be successful just by doing spirituality or your career by yourself. Every great spiritual master had at least a few teachers they would ask questions to, most of the eastern ones had a sort of apprentice/guru thing going on, where they would get taught by their guru on a very personal level.

So I have this underlying belief that if I want to be successful spiritual wise, I need to get help from somebody else. Yet I don't know what I need help in. I literally have no desire or I literally don't have any need to see a spiritual teacher face to face and ask them questions, except for the act of satisfying my belief said above. I am happy just sitting every morning for an hour, doing my bhakti yoga, empirically feeling what's going on, and then modifying my technique based on the empirical evidence.

When I go to a Buddhist center just for the sake of trying to get taught, my questions always feel inauthentic, because I am just asking questions for the sake of asking them, rather than for any real reason. Same goes with this forum, sometimes I ask questions on here just for the sake of feeling like I need to because I can't get enlightened by myself, I need some guidance surely. But every time I post a question, either here or in some meditation center, my mind always tells me that I will get a much better answer if I contemplate the question myself, rather than ask someone else. 

So considering I don't have an intuition on developing connections with spiritual teachers or startup mentors, how should I go about getting taught by them? How do I get value out of a meditation center without it seeming forced or inauthentic? I feel like having a spiritual teacher would be of massive value, yet I don't know how to have a teacher? How should I go about it?

Address your underlying beliefs, don't get bossed around by them.

The only requirement for spirituality is having access to Truth / God. Everything else is just a tool for that.
