Why I No Longer Seek Teachers, Masters, or Systems

There was a time when I believed progress required permission.
Permission from teachers.
Permission from lineages.
Permission from systems that claimed maps of consciousness.

That phase had its purpose—but it ended.

What many do not speak about is that true initiation eventually dissolves the need for external authority. Not out of arrogance, but out of clarity. When perception stabilizes, guidance no longer comes from outside structures—it arises from within experience itself.

Teachers are useful when consciousness is forming its language.
Masters are useful when discipline is still borrowed.
Systems are useful when orientation is needed.

But there comes a stage where seeking becomes avoidance.

Seeking can become a way to delay responsibility.
A way to keep meaning outsourced.
A way to remain a student forever.

I did not reject teachers—I outgrew dependency.

What replaced them was not isolation, but discernment. I can listen without submitting. I can read without adopting. I can learn without surrendering my center.

This is not rebellion.
This is maturation.

Initiation does not crown you—it grounds you. And once grounded, you stop looking upward for validation and start standing where you are.

That is why I no longer seek teachers, masters, or systems.
The Work now happens internally, continuously, honestly—through lived reality.
