anytime you accept anything as your guru - buddha, jesus, a teacher, a mountain, the Earth, ancestors - you are giving up your own light and power. you must succumb to who they are, how they are, what they say, and your every thought turns to them. you can not be in the here and now if you are thinking of someone else, somewhere else and you will never find your own truth, or your own path to truth.
enlightened beings are not the answer, just a finger pointing in the direction. use them, break yourself down, but know when to walk away and look within (now).
everyone talks about jesus this, buddha that, so-and-so says this, a bird is like that, but once you start depending on these things, you lose the possibility of enlightenment. you are accepting that they are someone you can never be who has been places you can never go and seen things you will never see.
it is a glamorous idea to give up everything and follow a guru but you are just trading your ego for theirs, trading your searching for their answers.
it is not the same for me to tell you water is wet as for you to jump in the ocean.
the Truth lies not within but not without, in it there is no within or without, but each person can be a vessel for Truth... but only if each person is present - you can't follow someone into that place and trying to do so is dispersing your energy and yourself :: breaking apart the vessel.

i was born of silence, and silence is my foundation. everything else is anarchy, chaos and confusion. living and breathing silently. that's all.
