Speaking of gurus, even the Buddha warned against them with his “if you see a Buddha along the road, murder him .”
Buddha said all must follow their own path and he shared his path but not as a path others should follow.
A little later in time, Socrates finally came to the conclusion he KNEW nothing.
I agree, not only do I not trust gurus but I trust no one who wants me to “trust” their way of thinking. Obviously this includes all religious leaders, politicians, advertisers, capitalists and many more.
I remember the the old Jewish humor that “Trust Me” is Yiddish for fuck you.
Hi, Heidi - I just found you after Chris LaTray read Joy Sits Quietly in his Poetry as Spiritual Practice workshop last night. Looking forward to reading more of your writing and your thoughts. I'm up before sunrise each day to walk on the Camas Prairie. No swimmable water, so I put my hands in the cold creek. It's the simple things that bring me joy. Blessings to you
I love this, Heidi. Summer seems like the time for noticing and for reflection. I especially like the social media one. I find myself on it less and less this summer, and it's brought me more - more time, more energy, more productivity (in a balanced way).
