The problem with spiritual teachings is that they are overemphasising the power of insights and under emphasizing the work required. There is no way to skip the work required to purify the inner worlds and slow down the mind enough so you can see what is going on clearly. All the books and lectures and drugs and meds will not help you except by giving you a taste of what is possible when you do the work. There are no shortcuts.
(Discipline + Practise + Consistency) x Time = Mastery
Spiritual mastery is a skill. Like learning an instrument.
Certain studies and experiences can deepen your practise.
But they are not the real thing.
