gatito Posted August 23, 2012 "If one is true to one's self and follows it's teachings, who need be without a teacher?" - Chuang Tzu Yes, it's said that, if you're sincere, even a stone will teach you. I think that this is extremely rare though. I tried being my own teacher but then realized I didn't know sh*t lol . Yes, I can resonate with this as well. Most of us find that, in the beginning, an (apparently ) external teacher can be quite helpful. Why attempt to reinvent the wheel? And Grace (by definition) is always available to everyone. No-one is unworthy - all are invited. May all beings be open to seeing the stones which point towards their Gate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChiDragon Posted August 23, 2012 Your wisdom is your own teacher. You will go find out what you don't know. It is either by asking someone or read books with a literal filter to filter out the unwanted fallacies and retain the facts. Again, by your own wisdom.
