How to Find a True Spiritual Teacher

False spiritual teachers abound in this world. But they can be hard to suss out. A wayward spiritual teacher can be irresistibly charismatic, promote an exciting vision, and already have a crowd of enthusiastic followers. And you don’t see what you don’t see. Their transgressions often occur behind closed doors among an inner circle of true believers. Their abuse may secretly take place with one adoring member (at a time) who has been told she or he is special. At the same time, we humans have an enormous capacity to accept even bad public behavior that’s couched under the guise of a higher spiritual purpose. Perverse spiritual teachers exist in all traditions. Countless allegations have been made against Buddhist teachers, Catholic priests, and Yoga masters. The offenders include intentional fakes, sexual predators, full-on cult leaders, or people who are simply deluded about their level of spiritual realization. You might think you could never be taken in by a warped teacher. But don’t fool yourself. You can have a Ph.D., and still get snared. I consider myself an intelligent person, but I got caught by a charismatic teacher as did all the doctors, lawyers, and therapists in my group. A corrupt spiritual teacher preys on your idealism, your desire to do good, and your wish to help others. <a href="https://medium.com/mystic-minds/how-to-find-a-true-spiritual-teacher-b6878cbfd6ad">Visit Now</a>
