What is the sound of One Hand Clapping?
I love the information age. I love the fact that we have at the push of a button almost all the information we can stand. With that being said, I also chuckle at guru's who claim to hold esoteric teachings from long ago. In the kung fu world there are lots of "teachers" who hold "sacred teachings" and "profound knowledge." I wouldn't even keep it to the martial art world. There are "spiritual" teachers who hold the belief that they are sharing some recovered lost teachings that have either been lost or covered up. However, I challenge you to really look at the teachings of the Catholic Church. Look at the Theology behind that teachings... Now that is esoteric or more like profound. I mean if you can actually grasp the depths of St. Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica... well you should be a guru. Grasp the Church Father writings... deep stuff. Sometimes it seems that in the pursuit personal integration, one can overlook some of the deepest profound thoughts of some of the greatest thinkers in history.
