In a section of today's post (Go down to "Poor Man's Constant Consciousness?) Stuart Davis weighs in with one of the best spiritual blog posts I have yet seen.  Really, it's awesome.

I'll say more about this later - namely, how it correlates with my own experience. 

But for now, just go check it out.

This particular post is important, but since I am posting it as I think it (real-time posting), it will also be a bit confused. Humor me, if you would, and read this to the end... Given a lot of the various messes that can occur with spiritual teachers, I have been contemplating: 1. the relationship between seeing/being spiritual truth, and the limits of these particular insights - a. judging the VALIDITY of a particular insight b. judging the LIMIT or BOUNDEDNESS of a particular spiritual insight 2. Beyond this, however, there is also additional judgements that need to be made by a teacher - c. The path/practice necessary to realize the spiritual insight d. The recognition of what a particular person/student, needs to "do" or "work on", in order for the spiritual insight to manifest itself most strongly. Ken Wilber states "Each valid mode of knowing consists of an injunction, an apprehension, and a confirmation."   more »
