What is meant by ‘spiritual authority’?

Prior to watching the next spiritual video, reading the next spiritual book, or attending the next spiritual seminar… breathe deeply & relax, notice the silence, feel this moment, and note; ‘that’ is ‘it’. Then discern, to any extent you are being led, helped, or taught, if that is towards ‘what they know which you need to know & subscribe to or agree with’, or if that is towards non-aversion, self-understanding & self-discovery.

What is meant by ‘spiritual confusion’?

Fusion, is to fuse two things together. Con, is to be duped, tricked, or bamboozled. Confusion, is the belief there are separate things, which could be ‘fused’ or made one, while oneness (not two) is already the actuality. Duality, or, twoness, is never found in perception nor feeling. This & that; duality - is the activity of thought.
