Any external doctrine is escapism and weakness, be it:
external guru
external motivation
external code
external validation
all of it is weakness and escapism
it’s insidious
it pulls you further away from yourself and your (personal) truth
If you are concerned with bettering yourself or your life – I don’t believe you should be listening to others telling you What-To-Do
I don’t believe a GURU is better then your mama.
If you trust someone with anything personal – you are denying, you are rejecting your own self.
The only reason to listen to anyone is *CURIOSITY*
But this curiosity is vital.
For it’s the same burning curiosity that penetrates the outside which penetrates the inside.
One must cultivate this Curiosity for this is how one arrives at the truth.
It the light of True-Knowing-Of-Oneself, the true transformation takes place – which is not an escape.
Upon such transformation one will truly never again need anyone to tell him what to do.
