Well my order would have to be chronological since things change:) And of course this is just for me, I would not try to debate the "top teachers of all time" or something like that:)
1. Eckhart Tolle - introduced me through his popular books. I remember when I realized that I actually think constantly. first major thing
2. Douglas Harding - his experiments opened a new dimension for the second time. Looking back at my self..
3. Tony Parsons - my life crashed after being to one of his seminars. I pretty much went crazy at this point
4. Lightmystic - too bad he left this forum, he was the first enlightened person i actually interacted with. He helped a lot with (3)
5. Katie Byron - doing the work on the real deep issues (fear of death) is pretty amazing and has proven to me that its actually all good, always
Wait, I need a honorary mention of someNOTHING on this forum too:) That stuff is just so wack.. its strangely comforting when on the edge

Klause said: But let me ask you where is it written that a spiritual teacher cannot be an ass and realized at the same time.
Can one be a spiritual teacher and still be ruled by ego's drive ?
If the answer is "yes", then what is meant by spiritual teaching?
If the answer is "no", then what could be the motive for abusing people ?

If a teacher seems to act like an ass to you, does that guarantee ego is still present?

Well depends how you define ego doesn't it.
From my view ego is needed to do anything when you are in the body but I don't think you meant this. You seem to mean the human gross side of all of us that can act like a spoiled brat or whatever.
Well my own take is if a person acts like a ass it only guarantees that the person in that moment acted like a ass. Niz would act like a ass quite often. What would you think would happen if someone took all Niz beedies from him while he was giving a talk? I assure you atm you would see some ass! However we all know that Niz was truly and fully awaken

To Karen:
I would rather pay attention to what's going on in the interaction and what the outcome is for both... Which is not that easy, I admit. But I certainly don't buy the "crazy wisdom" excuse...
To Michaelsees:
I agree, I meant if the guy is acting, and acting, and acting "like a ass"... and not so "acting like a ass"( can be useful at times if you know what you do, if you do it in intent of the benefit of the other, and know how to go too far) but acting that seems destructive or trigerring self-destructive behaviors again and again....

Yes it's true M also it's a great way of sifting out the non sincere vs sincere seekers. I am sure many many people came to see Niz and the first time they sat with him was there last time. Hey I probably would also before I knew about advaita and non duality. In my years of being "pure" I would have said I came all the way from the US to see a old ugly Indian smoking and yelling at people! Of course now I only wish I could have seen him at least once as I love his boldness, not playing around teachings. Michael To Michaelsees: I agree, I meant if the guy is acting, and acting, and acting "like a ass"... and not so "acting like a ass"( can be useful at times if you know what you do, if you do it in intent of the benefit of the other, and know how to go too far) but acting that seems destructive or trigerring self-destructive behaviors again and again.... m |

1. Osho Rajneesh...book: The Book of Secrets....and his audio discussions on Zen...its all about the techniques, everything else is just doctrine and philosophies lol..thanks Osho.
2. Sri Yukteswar Giri ..book:The Holy Science....was parahamsa yogananda's teacher, parahamsa is widely credited with bringing eastern spirituality to the west. He was sent by Sri Yukteswar.
3. Eckert Tolle for stating the obvious so plainly and elequantly...Osho once said of Zen that it was a seed born in India, but it grew into a tree in China, and it Blossomed into a beutiful flower in japan....that Zen faded out in japan and got lost in formality and ritual...but that it had regrown as a plant in England, and was going to flower again in the U.S. I believe the popularuty of Eckert Tolle in the U.S. in popular culture is a part of the blossoming of non-ritualized ZEN practise into the main stream.
4. The Congress of The Birds....a compelation of mystic Sufi parables...taught me the beauty of surrender and that it was alright LOL.
5. The Master Key System by Charles Haanel...showed me through practical techniques that the mind and our world are choices we make.
And the biggy for me at the last moments of my searching:
6. Bodhidharma...the father of Zen, if Ch'an/Zen was a seed in India but grew to a tree in China, Bodhidharma carried the seed and planted it in China...there is no mind but mind...check out Red Pine's translations of Bodhidharma's sutras
"The Zen Teachings of BhodhiDharma" translated by Red Pine.
