The guru thing is not exactly like that for me. I kind of graduated, and is
supposed to be able to take care of myself now. It is not that if you go back
to your university professor, after graduation, to solve all your problems.
He give you basic knowledge how to solve problems, and then you are on your
own. And then I have a kind of guru in my head. I ask a question, and I often
just know what my guru would answer. Or at least imagine that it is.
If a guru want to keep you, and you have to ask him for everything, even
though you supposedly have learned a lot, I smell possible foul play. Maybe
he want fame and adoration by having many disciples? A guru is supposed to
kick you out from under her/his protection as soon as possible, so you learn
to use your own wings.

I rather want to be myself, what I am, than be some kind of figurehead for
some idea. But then others maybe want to be saints. I am too unexpectedly
individualistic to be mistaken for a saint if I say my real opinion.

That sounds nice. I have to learn to know about this Kundalini better.
