Yes. Physical Adepts abound on Earth, but to find the "right" one
for your own personal developmental needs is very hard to do.
In today's USA it is practically impossible, thought I agree that it
is possible (Da Free John is the guru of Ken Wilber, for example.
When Wilber publically admitted this, he lost a lot of his following
who didn't like Da Free John).

Where do you thing spiritual and uplifting thoughts come from?
When a spiritual or loving idea comes into our mind, where do
you think its source may be? Dis-carnate Teachers (whom HPB
called nirmanakayas) do this. There is an article in this months
Quest about a Teacher visited in dreams, etc. I find these kind
of gurus to be more meaningful and helpful to me than physical
Teachers.
