	Internet is part of life. We share information.

	Once the general principles are publicly available, why need anyone to
point the way. Should we not try to cure our blindness first, then the way
will be obvious.

	Many want someone to lead them. Also a step by step approach many like.
But do they work? I do not know. Has any of the Hokus pokus produced a
single enlightened person or an Adept? Who knows? Proof of the pudding is
in the eating.

	I am not against sharing of information and counsel as equals, since
ultimately one has to do the work oneselves. 

	The general human nature is when, in the physical world, one acts as a
guru and the other the one who is led, the former ends up in controlling
the other in all aspects of life, even to the point of taking all the
possessions of the later. When is one going to stand up on one's feet and
be one's own man or woman. May be it is time to re-post "Truth is a
Pathless Land Statement?"
