Yes, the above, and more:

Buddha, Jesus, Padma Sambhava, Milarepa, Babaji, Yogananda, Ramakrishna,
Ramalinga Swamigal (little known but important), Cyril Scott, Sri Aurobindo (his
little book on "The Mother" is an unsurpassed revelation to this day, please
read it everybody), the Roerichs, Krishnamurti (before the the pathless speech),
Geoffrey Hodson, Innocente.

No.

To me it is a matter of comparing the quality and content of consciousness with
what I experience within as the highest truth I am able to contact.
