Spiritual Teacher?!

Karen Sanchez19 said:rapidskipper9.. man, what are you even saying? You want me to grab some lasagna with you? I'm buying!😂

In case you didn't know, even bears can't resist them.😉 😛

I honestly had no idea that was how you actually spelled it.😕 😲

Sounds good, I'll pick up the round of beers.👍 😁

It’s not supposed to be written like that, I guess... I just had a different autocorrect setting on my old phone so I kind of mashed it together... [worms]nevermind[/worms]

Anyway, let me actually answer the question so I don't look like an idiot...😂

The answer is: FEAR. It's pretty much just that, especially when you're just some guy working a trade, you know?😁

Look, rapidskipper9, none of you have even come close to grasping the most fundamental quality of a true mentor.

While you’ve managed to demonstrate that lack of depth in practice, our mentor Joe ended up stuck dealing with all of you.

A TRUE MENTOR teaches you how to answer your own questions.

That is the primary requirement.
With a mentor of his caliber, you could spend a lifetime uncovering every other attribute he possesses.🙄 👋

Jose Reyes said:Look, rapidskipper9, none of you people have even come close to grasping the most fundamental quality of a true master.

But you? You actually demonstrated that in a real-world scenario, while John was right here among you all.

A TRUE MASTER teaches you how to find the answers to your own questions.

That is the primary trait.
With a MASTER like this, you can start exploring all the other qualities too.🙄 👋

So, just marry me already.

Jose Reyes said:Joe, also known as Jose Reyes John Doe, is actually a teacher as well.
A "SPIRITUAL GURU."

He claims to be one, he's respected as such by certain circles, and—which is arguably the most pertinent point regarding the subject of this thread—he is capable of detailing several of his TEACHING METHODS AND EXPERIENCES.
Joe will gladly address any inquiry you might have.😎 🙏

Folks, please, let’s not engage in mockery here...
Well, look, a "Guru" has finally graced us with his presence.

Since I’m the one who actually kicked off this entire discussion, I feel somewhat obligated to pose a few questions to him directly...

1. So, Joe, how are you doing? 😁
2. Do you happen to hold any actual certification for your mastery?
3. Are you held in high regard by the people you've personally assisted, or is it just among strangers online?
4. Could you provide even a single example from your teaching experience where a specific method helped someone out of a state of confusion?

...I certainly have more than that, but I suppose I should start slow... lest I drive you away before we've even truly begun. 😉

If he’s actually thinking about getting married—forget it! I already asked 😁

velvetpilot212 said:If she actually marries him—forget about it! I was the first one to ask 😁

Oh, please...

I’d just be using him for everything he's worth...😁

Eric Scott65 said:Oh, please...

I’d probably just take advantage of him...😁

👍

Eric Scott65 said:Oh, please...

I’d honestly just take advantage of him while I had the chance...😁

Wait, you mean even if it actually hurt you personally?????😲

It’s actually quite a heavy task to pin down exactly what constitutes a threat to someone who truly has nothing left to lose...

wearyowl29 said:Even at his own expense?????😲

Why would he care about damages now? For God's sake, Doe, can't you see the guy is just a pro at what he does? 😲 Get real. 😁

Are you kidding me? It’s just one endless, pathetic cycle of hot air... nothing but pure, unadulterated nonsense.

🙂 🙂

velvetpilot212 said:Come on, get real here. 😁

Yeah, right...🙂 🙂 🙂

Karen Sanchez19 said:Seriously, just total garbage... absolute nonsense, nothing but hot air.

🙂 🙂

Well, look who showed up! It's the guy with the upset stomach walking into the office.
Get outta here, man... honestly, you're just blowing smoke all by yourself.🙂

Are you all trying to... take advantage of me?

🙂

hollowviper72 said:Are you trying to use me...?

🙂

Aren't you just a hopeless dreamer—an idealist at heart? 🙂

Honestly, someone ought to be looking out for you and giving you a little extra care. 🙂 🙂

Awwwww.... you totally caught me off guard with that one! 😍 😉

Eric Scott65 said:Someone needs to look out for you and give you some affection.🙂 🙂

I'm just not built for that kind of thing...

Man, these are some high-level (chat) topics... 😁

I sincerely hope the thread starter is gaining some sort of spiritual "insight/wisdom" from all these posts 😂

The fear walks into the bank with a bad case of indigestion.
Get out of here, you coward... just let it rip... go on, puff some air... you're on your own.

Am I just standing here alone in this mess?
I don't have a single buddy left to vent to.🙂🙂

RzBrzotrz said:Oh boy, what a stellar topic we have here... 😁

I truly hope the leader of this thread is gaining some sort of spiritual "enlightenment" from reading these posts. 😂

To be perfectly honest, the leader behind this thread actually managed to pull herself out of her own identity crisis—partly, I suspect, thanks to the unsolicited wisdom offered by some of the authors here. 👍

Now, she’s essentially joined the ranks of those working toward the spiritual upliftment of the lost souls wandering aimlessly through this world... though perhaps she's just doing it through sheer humor...
And look, laughter really does cleanse and mend the soul... I mean it... when I say that, I truly mean it...
😁

I, for one, am satisfied. 🎉
