could be a stupid question

[timboura]

Please, please, please, do not regard me as a troll for this question. I have bought many R-max books before and have been very satisfied with my purchases. This question may be really good, or it may be really stupid. So here it goes.
Why do I need more information about something that I attain when I stop thinking about it?
Please take me seriosly, Tim.

I don't consider it a trolling question at all.

So, why? The answer is... if you need help being facilitated on your own path. If you're completely confident that you can "stay out of your own way" when you confront significant challenges, then I'd say you don't need any help.

But remember that the goal is to be able to recover more rapidly from perceived errors, being surprised and unexpected events. In other words, what happens WHEN you "get in your own way?"

I've touched thousands upon thousands of people through my work, and I still need help staying out of my own way. And I seek counsel from my mentors for guidance. Why? Life is a process of revealing what we didn't see because it was too obvious, of shedding layers of less mature/sophisticated filters to our full potential.

I've never met one human being that didn't need any help, nor any person who never gets in his/her own way, regardless of their level of maturity/sophistication.

If you're serious about your development, you'll manifest teachers as you need them. In other words, if you commit yourself to your unique Path, be diligent in deepening your daily practice, move towards the "hard thing" to face ever increasingly more difficult challenges, heal yourself, and love unfettered... then you'll figure it all out on your own.
