What I have noticed is that many spiritual teachers say the same thing, they bring a similar message — just in different ways, based on whatever their sphere of perception is. Like explaining a concept, or a feeling, or an idea using examples:
If I live in warm tropical climes, and want to describe pain, I might say “it felt like walking barefoot on a white sandy beach in the hot mid day sun”.
If you are from a place where it snows, and the weather brings wind and sleet and rain and temperatures that drop to levels that should not even be thermometized*, you may describe pain as the feeling of “a screaming-out-loud, frostbitten toe searching for teats of heat”.
The good thing about choice is that we get to choose.
We choose the messenger that resonates with us; based on the cadence of the voice; the grouping of words formed from thoughts and ideas; the imagery in the painting; the beats of the drum; the call of nature; religion or culture; or whatever criteria floats our boat in the direction that pleases us.
We have no fear, when from that feeling place, we know that the message emanates from a pure source of All That Is Good,
we can take it in whatever flavour we desire.
