One of the very few teachers that I would recommend would be Ram Tzu or Wayne Liquoreman (sp?)at advaitafellowship.com. Advaitafellowship is concerned with nonduality or the totality of conscioussness. Most of the so-called enlightement stuff that I've come across is really nothing more than illumination or ideas with out the space or understanding that must exist prior to any illumination or nirvana. He tends to cut strait through any of the new age and other nonsense with humor, folly, paradox, a relentless smashing of ego, and pointers to insight. He holds fast in that his discussions are only pointers. If you are interested, some of his topics are humility, grace, powerlessness, paradox,and the totality of consciousness. To me he is deeply grounded in reality and day to day life that many teachers lack. His "no way, for the 'spiritually advanced'" tears notions of illumination, piety, and other crap that we seekers buy down with wonderfully irreverent lines such "you would rather imagine a teacher in flowing robes than sitting on the toilet." or "Ram Tzu hears it all the time...you've had a profound moving spiritual experience. Now your hooked, now your a seeker. There has never been a junkie more addicted or more miserable. Where once you would have been satistfied with a new car or loving mate, now you want nothing less than the peace of God. Ram Tzu knows this...Your ####ed." He, like other teachers have said, points out the seeking gets in the way of the sought.
