As you know each of us has our own personal path we follow. i appreciate your expressing yours. i have had a few experiences in life-that for me-have proven the benefits of having a Guru. However someone else may have had similar blessings without having a Guru. i can only speak for myself as no doubt you feel the same.

The kriya yogi who reached out to me made sure to tell me multiple times that the Guru is within.  Gurus are indispensable.  Spiritual authority is optional.  I enjoyed reading your experiences on the Hong Sau thread in recent posts.  Isn't it great that one need not have a guru to progress spiritually, such as through Hong Sau?  Imagine many more people did Hong Sau, but had no guru.  Would yogis who have had initiations suppose that any of them had Samadhi?
