When a participant has found his/her Spiritual Teacher, they have found a “soul friend” who will guide them all the way to a spiritual awakening and then beyond.

So how can you become a seeker and make the most of your relationship with your Spiritual Teacher?

—Start where you are. This is very important.
—Begin with the challenge that is in your life now.
—Ask for the assistance of your Spiritual Teacher.

Once you have mastered this challenge, move on to the next one. Once you develop your relationship with your Spiritual Teacher and get in such a flow, then you will be on your Spiritual Path.

It’s not complicated, but I never cease to be amazed how few participants actually understand this and work with this simple process.

NOTE
Your Spiritual Teacher will rarely if ever take the initiative in this journey to your True and Authentic Self. It is your journey and it’s up to you, as the seeker, to set the course and the rate of progress. So if you are not developing as you would like, do not blame the Spiritual Teacher, but rather look inward to your own passion and commitment to the journey. Your Spiritual Teacher knows nothing about anything and it's this emptiness that allows him, when asked questions, to dip his empty “bucket" into the ocean of consciousness and take out exactly what both you and he need. Enlightenment is not something. It is nothing.

He cannot easily give the teaching without your participation.

So along with the resources on The Spiritual Path, all you need is available to you. Your job is to live your life to the fullest extent possible and to work with your Spiritual Teacher to use your one wild and precious life to grow spiritually. Remember the closer the relationship you have with your teacher the faster this will unfold for you.
