There are "plenty"

My no. 1 out of the living ones is Francis Lucille.

 Yes, yes, yes. 

He also taught Rupert Spira & His wife I believe, he's just not great on the Social Media and didn't get an appearance on Opera so didn't blow up as much, I think this is the case with most teachers, they kinda just host small retreats or work 1-1 with students, I imagine when you're a spiritual celebrity like Tolle it's actually kinda hard to awaken people as you can't give them the attention, he is more of an introduction to this work it seems :)

Rambled on there, but Francis is as legit as it gets. 

I also always recommend Ramaji and Ananda Devi (& getting RASA for those interested) but I'm HELLA biased towards them haha

Well, assume that Nonduality is True, and that you (God) is all there is. Everything that happens within consciousness (You) is all your imagination. That means 'enlightened teachers' and how they are or are not enlightened is also all imagination. Only one that can become Awakened is you. 

You guys have to stop being so honest. Can´t handle the truth.

Wait I´m actually created this. So beatiful. Need to listen to myself. LOL @Jed Vassallo

Everyone you named, as well as everyone you’ve ever met, and everyone you know, and everyone on this forum, is already enlightened. You’re literally the last one. 

It´s funny that you said that. I created a topic a while ago asking exactly about that because I had the intuition that everyone else was already "done" and the left one for enlightment was me but the topic didn´t have much attention. Wtf I knew it. My intuition never fails :P

This is the

I am you

You are me

Orgy

 

I love 

you love

I you

Me

:) lol. We are consciousness as god within human body. There is no men or women here. Just unconditional love to creation. 
 

I believe you have some weakness to show love to others. Loving more makes you less men? Lol. That will open weaknesses within you. Dont hold it let it go. Love you brother :)

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. He is the founder of the Art of LIving Foundation (I'm a volunteer in that foundation). He is a real treasure and I would say is definitely enlightened. He has teachings for the masses but there are far deeper enlightenment teachings he has if one desires to get into them. He has a lot of followers that seem to worship or idolize him, but that is not his doing. He keeps telling his followers, leaders & volunteers that we are him, but most don't seem to hear it.

He has supernatural abilities and presence so I think that's why people idolize him. By the age of four, he was able to recite parts of the Bhagavad Gita so he seemed to be born into an enlightened state. He is a treasure. Humble, loving and easily overlooked. If there's any ego, it would be very minimal.

Your welcome?

Yes, I think it's a huge mistake to think that once one is enlightened that they are now perfect humans and always kind/loving with calm personalities. I love Nisargadatta Maharaj and he had a very colorful personality and smoked like a chimney.

That makes sense. I guess there's a sort of baggage that can come with that word. From the Buddhist things I've read enlightenment is described as like this absolute thing, and it's perfect, but I'm probably getting some dogmatic idealization from that content.
