Well, you can certainly try them ... but again I ask you:- what makes you think they have the right answer for you ?!?
They are not ‘perfect’, nor are they ‘wise and all knowing’ ... and don’t think that just because they are older, have gone through the same experience as you, have some college certificate... that this grants them the answer you need at this moment...
And no, I’m not advocating that it would be useless to talk with them... just remember - they are only able to offer you their opinion - and nothing more - it’s up to you to figure out IF that’s the right one for you.
So, what are you to do ...
Go within... there is nothing ‘out there’ that can make any sense, unless you’ve first gone within, to truly understand why you feel this way... what your struggles really are ... and what you are able - or willing - to do about it all.
Now - once you have achieved this inner clarity - now you can seek help from an outsider if you still need it... and you’ll be able to process the information correctly ... or at least, not be lured into a response that is not-you.
The great Teachers have always said - All you seek is within you... the Journey will only take you from you...to you.
You know this - Life is a process of self-discovery; of being aware of the many ways in which we block our success, limit our happiness, or even sabotage ourselves... and through this self-search, become aware of all the great potential that has always been within us, just waiting for us to use it...
So here’s the bottom line - before you run off thinking that there’s someone ‘out there’ that has all the answers, look first within you, be clear as to what you are really seeking - and what would work - or not work - for you
... and if you doubt me, let me share with you one of the great principles of Creation:- the question is always linked with the answer ... so, if you clearly understand what you seek, then the answer will be revealed ...
The Path of Enlightenment is one of Self Discovery, of awakening those wonderful gifts and powers that have always been within us...and through that discovery we now claim our rightful place in the Light – so that we may serve Man and Spirit well...
We are all travelers together, and I am appreciative to have you walk the Path with me...
Namaste...
