Interacting with others on the spiritual path

[Identity]

Is it important to connect with others on the spiritual path?

To meet masters face to face?

So far, Ive mostly been watching video’s, reading books, interacting on the forum.

 Not to forget practices ofcourse.

Very little contact with awakened people, or people on a similar journey.

Has it helped you to do so? In what ways?

@Identity Yes, it can be very helpful, because people who know the truth love the most, and that love can bring the truth out from inside you.

I have had only one meeting with an "enlightened being." It was very nice and we could look into each others eyes and dissolve into nothingness together. The meeting brought clarity and a sense of healing, but not enlightenment. Nobody can give you enlightenment, so be nobody.

Yes.

Well, that seems pretty clear. Thanks for your responses. I know what to do.

Yes, of course, it will help being in the presence of a truly liberated being can be incredibly helpful. 

I'm lucky enough to meet my teacher fortnightly over Zoom, and it is the single most helpful thing of my journey having not just interaction but 1-1 interaction that deals with your unique situation and awakening.
