I’ve had some clarity recently and was wondering if you can help me act on it. I’ve been reading Daniel Odier’s comments on the Spandakarika and the translation of the Vijnanabha?rava Tantra (which is fantastic). What I realized is my urge for spirit is more intense than I had realized before. So strong that many paths attract me - in a sattvic kind of way. However I feel the truth mostly in paths that emphasize nondual approaches and oneness. Zen, tantra, mahamudra although different in some ways, all ring of truth to me.
It is time for me to settle in on a path with a teacher who can help me. I'm not even sure how such a relationship works actually. Do you feel you can be of benefit to me now? I have learned much from you and am ready to move ahead (for lack of a better way to put it). I need help negotiating my practice -- and yet I feel calm. That's my ? should we be in that kind of relationship or should I continue to seek a teacher. I guess I need the confidence and safety of a teacher who can look out for me in a personal way or I wouldn't be asking. We can speak on the phone if it seems more appropriate. namaste b.
