"Again, I see a huge pitfall for the "newly awakened" to get hoodwinked by self-styled gurus, masters, avatars and saviors, who are all too eager to impose all manner of physical practices that are supposedly intended to make one "more spiritual". Since, quite clearly, the gurus do not agree, one can easily become lost for years, decades, or even lifetimes, trying to determine which is the "One True Way" to eat, sleep, meditate, exercise, etc. for "spiritual growth".
Ironically, this persistent idea of the "One True Way" is the #1 obstacle to true spiritual growth and understanding."
} I agree. Once the WILLing learner learns something, the big question is 'what do I do with it now?'. The hoodwinkers (most deceive themselves) have a hay day. The real answer to the question is 'nothing, you've been doing it all along, you just didn't realize it. Be content with the realization'
