I don't really dig the concept of a guru. Afterall, what qualifications does anyone else in this world have over my own experience to understand what the hell is going on? Not to say that I've got it all figured out, but I can't see myself putting that much stock in anyone elses conclusions over my own. We're all working with the same total lack of perspective, after all. So when figuring out what spiritual direction is best for me, and given the choice between everyone else, or myself, I gotta go with myself just because, hey, I'm the only one I know actually exists.
Of course, I do love hearing other's ideas and possibilities, but I don't think I'll ever consider anyone a guru.
