spiritual teachers

[questions]

been browsing over some threads i would like to know has anyone learnt anything from a spiritual teacher?
im guessing that is the point of this forum
if so? who is it and why?

and this forum is for spiritual teacher help?

if this is the case, can anyone reccomend any chakra healing practices and what is the opinion on this forum about chakras. thanks

there is no opinion of this forum, just individuals with opinions...

learning how to question, to do inquiry in a productive way is something valuable I learned by example really....

As odd as it might sound, I unlearned volumes by chatting with folks on forums and in person. Not just teachers but anyone I took an interest in. The focus has always been 'What's actually true?' Funny thing is, nothing is.

questions, if you are seriously interested, reply and I will give some specifics.

This is actually a really good question.

On the chakra stuff, no interest here. The energy stuff is secondary to the concious realization.

"On the chakra stuff, no interest here. The energy stuff is secondary to the concious realization."

Agreed.

You know what's funny, is that for years I wandered around thinking that by locating this chakra or that chakra, or by learning about Kundalini awakenings, or by exercising my body through Yoga I was actually getting somewhere. I wasn't... but I was. LOL...

I don't know how to explain it; but occasionally, those epiphanies will come, and I will recognize the experience from something I have read. The unfortunate thing is that I know it would be meaningless to tell someone else about it, because it wouldn't describe the experience at all. It might only distract them from their own journey. Yet, I recognize it in my own journey, because someone has already described it (and I recognize it); not that it helped me at all except in retrospect.

This is a very silly game.
