Priest and Gurus (Ministers/Preachers/Deacons/Masters...)
These are people who claim special abilities and knowledge
But the truth is that their abilities and knowledge are illusions
(or delusions). They are just parroting from one document or
another and playing the role.
Their main claim, implicit or explicit, is always that they
have a connection to the Divine that you don't have. ` THEY can
interpret their supposed holy document correctly because God
favors them and guides their interpretation.
They claim to want to help you, but what they really want to do
is make you dependent on them. Usually to the point where you
will actually give them money, though some are just in it for the
cheap thrills that ersatz authority can provide...
Enter the Teacher.
A Teacher wants to bring you up to their level. They want friends
and companions, not subordinates. They have real lives and are
not interested in dependents and actually posess real knowledge,
so they don't need to be worshipped as an advanced being in order
to feel good about themselves.
And they aren't compelled by personal neuroses to project their
own un-faced problems on various cultural groups and attempt to
heal themselves by healing those groups.
A real Teacher does not need your money or your approval.
Creating prosperity in one's life is childsplay to someone who
actually has a handle on what's going on. You cannot buy their
time with coin or worship.
