What is a road to lead us to our wholeness has always to be left by us without hesitating I believe. Even if a method has worked out for us in the past we have to leave it sooner or later (actually the sooner better). Because after some time we start holding on to it allthough it doesn't bring us forth in our journey. It is our fear to go further and our disability to trust the universe which makes us behave and think like this. Even when there is more potential on this way to grow we must first leave it to be sure about other possible ways and methods. If the same method will bring us forth then it will still be rediscovered by us; this I believe, we must simply trust... Being a human being is for me holding on what we know even when it is hurting or not bringing joy in our lives, the same with spiritual development... and that I believe, is the great challenge above all...
Once I had a teacher. Somebody showed me the way. He told me things which I at the first sight didn't understand. With time I came to the understanding of what he was talking about. Do you know why? Because as he spoke his wisdom he didn't expect me to understand it. He wanted me to grow and develope but wouldn't judge me even if I didn't understand anything. He became happy with even small steps of mine but he was patient and loving with no intent. And so was I to him...I guess...
I would say that for as many people as there exists, there are also that many roads. A method of achievement, isn't the road. The road is all the choices one makes on his way to freedom. All of the choices. For this reason, P'taah has often said that you have never left your road, and you have never, ever made a mistake. Not one.
The road is simply your path in life... each step you take. What choices you make in using this method or that, or none at all... these choices and methods are all part of the overriding experience of your physical existence, which can be called "your road".
I like your story of a teacher. It sounds like you had a wonderful relationship.
