Living Teachers
I recommend only teachers with whom I've had direct engagement. The following teachers are across a spectrum of traditions: Non-dual Shaiva Tantra, Kashmir Shaivism, Advaita Vedanta, the Direct Path, and Kundalini Maha Yoga.
Hareesh Wallis
Rupert Spira
Francis Lucille
Swami Viditatmananda
Carol Whitfield
Paul Ortega-Mueller
Adyashanti
Anandi Ma
They are all the "real-deal."
Not all of these individuals have been my teachers, but I've had enough direct engagement with all of them to recommend them with confidence.
