Hi there. As a new spiritual seeker, I was wondering about a couple of basic points. If enlightenment is pointless, and all there is is an unfolding in consciousness, then why do teachers teach, and why are the teachings so radically different? If all there is to do is sit and dissolve yourself in the silence, then why constantly poke at it with an endless number of words? Has anyone come up with a satisfactory explanation for this? Also, what are the most common stumbling blocks that are encountered on the path to enlightenment? Thanks.  |

Short answer. Because we are human and think enlightenment is out there not inside. Biggest stumbling block is thinking enlightenment is a destination not a journey. Just keep walking and you will get there, or not
