I like your avatar, it's strong.
I guess it will get better if you word it like that.
RE guru.
I was listening to an interview with an extra-sensory guy... who's pretty good, IMHO, and is pretty far.
He told several interesting stories. He spent 20 years in India, studied with Osho... and said that he'd never go back as there's really nothing there.
One story was that you sit in a monastery, meditate. Your guru comes and says, "think about X" , and you sit there and don't understand it . Then guy comes in, "tell me about it". You say "well this X is such and such". He hits you with a stick, "you did not understand, meditate more". You sit there for a few more days, he comes over, "tell me about X". You go "it is such and such", he hits you with a stick again, meditate more. Then it's over, and over. Until, one day, you either leave. Or you understand what X means. And then you also leave, because this was your main block, you wanted to understand X, then you resolved it for yourself, why stay.
He also said that while he had a pretty decent life in a big city in Europe, with friends, parties etc. One morning he woke up , and as soon as put his feet on the ground it hit him, what am I doing here. So he left to India.
His totem is also a wolf. Except his wolf is not a puppy.
