Everything on this page sounds like what I'm after:

But then when I click on a link at the bottom of the page it takes me to some big guru who looks like he might live in a giant mansion or something.
Everyone wants money and that's the one thing I don't have.

Elmer Fudd said that.
You'll make it, forget it.
Anonymous,
Are you the same person that posted the Woody Allen quote? If so, you must have a good memory. I have a difficult time remembering the things I say, let alone what someone else says. ;)
Jim,
Glad to see you've made it home safe and sound.
I like your attitude.
I wouldn't call Jzs stupid in order to follow any of these masters.
I guess we hate freedom because we think it means worldliness and hedonism.
Spirituality has always a dark side: materialism. Which is really lack of appreciation for material things. Destruction of matter in favor of delusion of grandeur.
Cultivation of virtue leads to self-absorption. Self-absorption to megalomania.
Spiritual following and imitation doesn't lead to saintliness and perfection. Only hipocrisy. And hatred of the ordinary and the profane.
Sophia,
Yes, that was me.
i recently got a book of aphorisms.

Siegfried,
It's not just anyone that could be a true Master. It's not just anyone that I would follow. Just as I would have to earn their leadership, they'd have to earn my respect and admiration. Once I've reached a certain level of trust, respect and admiration, I have no problem. But I would have a problem with spiritually submitting to someone who so clearly is wrapped up in materialism.
The most spiritual people I know - who have earned my love, admiration and respect - are also the poorest people I know. They have no want of luxuries.
Anon,
hehehe... we're going to have to find a code name for you so that I can know it's you when you comment!
