Like everything else in life, the spiritual path has a trick to it that they never tell you about.  They tell you how you should think and feel:  “Accept all things evenly, as coming from God”;  “Desire nothing, cling to nothing”;  “Let the world be as ashes in your mouth.”  What they don’t tell you is that this state is impossible to achieve in a real, meaningful way by one’s self.  We need a guru or an embodied spiritual agent acting upon us to truly transform ourselves.  Not even Jesus or Gautama Buddha did it by themselves:  they were receiving lots of guidance and support from the spirit side;  the Buddha even used a tree spirit to get enlightened, the technique which will be described presently. 

            The reason for this is that we, by ourselves, can banish thought forms, but we can’t keep them from returning unless we have considerable will power to begin with.  Since most of us are pretty flabby, we need to borrow strength to be able to control our impulses.  It takes self-confidence to have self-confidence;  it takes discipline to have discipline;  it takes faith to have faith, and hope to have hope.  If we’re starting out from zero, as most of us are, especially once we’ve removed the thought forms which offered us protection in the form of phony self-confidence, phony discipline, phony faith, and phony hope, then we have to have someone or something giving us energy to prop up the confidence, discipline, faith, and hope which we lack.   If we have a human guru, then this is his or her main function as far as we are concerned.  A guru doesn’t really teach us anything so much as point a direction, and then support us like a crutch until we are able to walk in that direction by ourselves.

            This is done through a “bending” of light fibers:  the guru’s light fibers act directly upon the disciple’s fibers and bend them in the same direction as the guru’s fibers.  They force the disciple’s fibers to conform to, or match, the guru’s fibers.  There’s nothing out of the ordinary in this – this is precisely how parents bend their children’s fibers as well.  It’s a magical process which can’t be described in words, although it can be seen.  The overt process connected to it – the parent fastening his or her own thought form to the child’s light fiber (better said:  the parent teaching the child a thought form congruent to the parent’s to attach to the newly bent light fiber) – is what we call learning by imitation.  But this is just the mind level of what’s happening:   the most superficial manifestation of a very complex process, much of it taking place when both parties are asleep.

            For those of us who don’t have gurus, it is necessary to go to nature spirits to borrow the energy we need to keep ourselves straight.  The light fibers of nature spirits gently engage our own, and by their brilliance they dissolve the importance coverings left by banished thought forms.  They align our fibers with theirs, and shake off the extraneous casings which imprison our fibers.  The only difference between a human guru and a nature spirit is that the latter operates much more slowly and gently than the former; it can take months or years of going to the same nature spirit daily to obtain the same effect that a human guru can give with one swift blow.
