I respect your path.

Yes, it is important even when working with a spiritual coach to for oneself know the laws and axioms that govern us as beings in this universe. One of the laws of this universe is that it is a two-terminal universe and that is perhaps why Jesus said, "Where two or more are gathered together...." Even witches know that law and obey it with great success. It is simply a law not to be ignored by most.

Always there will be the one who is different. But, beware of the peculiar traps of one's own western-style, left-brain education which egoizes on fixed opinions, and represses the right brain acquired truths. These are analogies for the spiritual being's way of processing things.

If you look around you you will see many people getting together quite successfullly to perform their meditations. Also the most successful "followers" of EFT are those who form support groups and work together.

In working with my spiritual coach I never think of myself as a "follower". A good spiritual coach would not encourage that. He is definitely assisting me to focus and to set aside the time and space to do my spiritual work, which I probably would otherwise be distracted from in my current environment.

For example, today he wanted to work with me in a different direction and we talked about it for one hour before I finally decided I would give it a try. Once I did give it a try I was very happy and thankful that he helped me to overcome my initial resistance. The western educated mind WILL resist it's own betterment in many cases.

If my personal trainer told me to lift 150 lbs in two sets of 4 reps, I might groan, but I would do it because I know he's right. Would I do it without him there to "make" me? Knowing myself, NO!!

And I get to pay for that muscular gain :-) I love my personal trainer Is there any olympic athlete who did not have a personal trainer in addition to his own huge will and intent. Of course it is a co-involvement, a co-create. Do I "guruize" my trainer? I guess I could if I wanted to.

The rule this operates on is that two minds can overpower the subconscious resistance to self-betterment, until my own mind and spirit is freed up enough to go it solo. And even then I would check in with someone periodically to make sure I'm not running away from confronting some "demon" in my subconscious. Those "demons" always turn out to be tadpoles anyways

The analogy of judo and body entrainment still applies to spiritual practices and processes -- as below so above, and vice versa. There is nothing "holy" about it where the rubber meets the road. "Holiness" is the result that all these enlightened book writers are trying to convey to you, but even they had their own personal spiritual trainers. It is a necessary component until one does arrive at the state of being where they can commune with their Higher Selves and process from within and without amongst their own 4D and up community.

At that point, when I arrive there I will say goodbye to my spiritual coach. It will be a graduation point, and I am glad to see you are graduated, if you truly are and are not just fretting about being a "follower".

with compassion and joy,
