This came upon me just now reading another thread here.
So why should I (or anyone else for that matter) trust them? Seems no matter how well they talk? How is it they are wiser than I? (Or you) I find if you look deep enough you'll find most are parroting or modifying things that others said and wrote. (Or pure bullchitting)
To be honest though I read Panella over and over he often reinforced what I already knew. Dont get me wrong because I enjoy new ideas presented as food for thought and I certainly don't know it all but neither does anyone else really. I think after 23 years of studying religion, new age and then becoming a truth seeker I too have something to say. I have seen the lies, deceptions and sometimes pure ignorance that some present.
Though I'll continue to read interesting things that fall in front of me I have decided not to be a sheep in any teachers flock. I will have no master. Sheep just get sheared and eaten in the end. True freedom for me is following the path that is presented to me.
I have had a few things revealed to me over my life that I have not shared with anyone. Nor do I dare. Somewhere maybe here in this moment is a wild and crazy existance waiting to be experienced. Let's find it. Thanks all for hearing me out. Luv ya all.

Just because we try to understand and sometimes agree to 'teachings' doesnt mean we are followers. We walk the path that are at the moment the most logical/intuitively appearing to be the truth. Thanks Myka )))

Yesterday, when I was flying back from Portugal to the Netherlands, I had an interesting conversation. As always happens these days I was seated next to a very nice and interesting person who is quite awake. She is in her mid sixties and has spent a long time of her life seeking spiritual knowledge. Yet she has become almost discouraged. Not in a sense that she given up on life, but after looking for the answers for so long, she has given up on finding the answer. She literally has become tired from all those questions and all that spiritual information that is available on the outside. When I suggested that I had a reasonable explanation why we are here and what 'it' is for myself she almost became fanatic in saying that was impossible. We did agree on one thing though and that is that all Guru's etc., everything outside is not necessary once you realise that all answers come from within. But it was a very interesting conversation and maybe, just maybe, she will take up on my suggestion to take a look at John Panella's work and maybe it will give her some new insights.

I too have been looking for the answers almost all of this life. I thave read a lot of the major religion's works (except the Torah) and then for a while followed the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda. I even bought his guru's books and I regularly used his little book of meditations, etc., in trying to become a better person (so guilty does the Catholic faith make you feel). Autobiography of a Yogi was like an awakening at the time (over 30 years ago). I do credit it with helping me turn my life around, but many things of it didn't sit well with me either. Now after all these years and readings of various kinds, plus lots of movie watching and various series that show the truth (Battlestar Gallactica is a biggie to me), anyway I couldn't agree more with all of you. All religions are distractions, in and of themselves. I will still take in and read more knowledge as it presents itself, or I feel compelled to read. But now, finally after all these years of searching, I have I finally learned trust myself - my inner self! Me, myself and I, know quite well when it spots the truth and lies (thanks a million to John Panella for more keys) and now I am finally listening to me. And to all you other ME, MYSELF AND I'S!!! hugs all round - thank-you all for your wonderful insights and giving hearts - I'm so glad I came to play with you.

I get overwhelmed by all the 'reading' although I did a lot in the past. Had a few gurus. I grew through those, though many have feet of clay. In general that affects the quality of what they share Higher Self qualities are minimum needed to get higher self and above info Compassion is key I test any by.
I learnt what I already knew or rather Remembered. I called it moving from back to front of my mind I saw how wisdom can be misused 'Leave no room for doubt, in your mind', on it's own is a healthy stance a perfect one for recovering health. Yet bound to a guru it stops, the questions one needs to ask to avoid cultism and deceptions.
Some things ring true to my intuition and I have just found the right thing for me replace and heal what I became traumatised by . montalk.net (thank you wome) I will be posting their perspective on Gnosis, as I feel it accurate to my experiences of. It put a lot of experience together for me, that I found had been distorted by another's teachings.
Not sure how or where I will post it yet, as to include my experiences, it would need be private. Yet it would attract the more spiritual from the masses

To me, it's good to get new thought insights from work by others; but it seems the bottom line is always that "we have to do our own homework" - our timing may be off for one teacher/researcher or another; so even if we don't resonate to someone, doesn't mean it's not right for SOMEONE out there.
Following is hazardous. We all need our own sovereignty.
