    If one has checked out more than a few of the recent Advaita teachers, one will see a trend that there (1) is a consensus among the better teachers that the awakening is not (for most, it seems) not an all at once experience. There may be those who have experienced complete awakening in one fell swoop, so to speak, but they don’t seem to be in the same teaching league as the ones that have the extended experience. Also, the teachings being free or relatively free seems to be one of the better indicators of the teacher’s quality. Then, again, perhaps, it’s all one Story, anyway. I certainly have no idea. Sincerely, Paul
