That which you speak of is thinking with the brain, my friend Zen. What will you do when you no longer exist in the flesh? Do you believe that you will have no means of learning or experiencing without that fleshy organ you trust so preciously?

Monica,
When the lava flows and you know the passageway that will lead your brethren to safety, do you remain behind and show as many the way through as you can, or do you say follow me and just hope that many will follow?
This is not about the integrity of the teacher, nor the naivety of the throng. It is simply about showing the Way. The Design will do the rest, not the teaching or the teacher.
