Underwater Geysers

Underwater geysers are rare places in nature where great quantities of life abide. Likewise, spiritual ideas of tremendous power and clarity orbit the center of our Being (the “heart” so often mentioned in the Bible), yet we walk in unawareness of this unfolding paradise.
With the quest for enlightenment being largely co-opted today by sophisticated commercial interest with a worldwide mass marketing effort, author Henry David Thoreau conveys a most relevant point: “Perhaps the facts most astounding and most real are never communicated by man to man.” Fascination and fixation on any outer source of wisdom, or the frantic attempt to find one, block perception of the inner geyser — the only Source from which advanced answers flow.
Awaken the inner teacher. Books, discussions and group meetings can help serve this sacred aim. Just never forget your aim, because most people will have forgotten theirs, urging you (often in subtle ways) to place outer sources of assistance on pedestals. The last thing any instructor with something valuable to teach wants to see, is fawning behavior in a student.
