Tami Simon, the founder of Sounds True, the largest and most successful producer of spoken-word spiritual material in America, reflects on the 600 or so spiritual teachers that she has recorded, and offers a series of invaluable conclusions and lessons....
The dialogue starts with Tami and Ken bantering about personal issues—they are long-time friends—but then moves to the main topic.
Beginning at around 15 minutes into the dialogue, the central issue begins to take shape: What are the qualities of genuine spiritual teachers? Are they perfect in every way? Are they an unavoidable mixture of human and divine? Is there any way to take the good and forgive the bad in each of them? How can one approach a spiritual teacher with any sort of balance and judgment?
We believe this is one of the finest discussions of this topic anywhere, and one you will certainly enjoy.
