The possibility of truth

Some people object when others - discoverers and teachers and other awakening ones - speak about something so pure and true that nothing compares to it. Why? Is universal truth something people feel the need to protect themselves from, as if it were a threat? If so... what does it threaten?

The idea of enlightenment is of utmost importance.
Just to know that there is such possibility, changes one's entire outlook.
It acts like a burning match in a heap of saw dust.
All the great teachers did nothing else.
A spark of truth can burn up a mountain of lies.
The opposite is also true.
The sun of truth remains hidden behind the cloud of self-identification with the body.

I can only offer an observation. That folks grasp to realities in the way children do their toys. There is identification at every point of the journey. For some this identification is strong and when threatened by another reality or so called truth, make evoke a reaction. Hence why these forums get heated at times. Ultimately a gifted teacher understands his student and exercises intuitive intelligence in their interactions.

The whole teacher/student paradigm is bogus.

The ego doesn't want the truth, the truth to the ego is death, it will kick and scream to the very end, and the end of the ego is what is needed for truth to enter, truth is freedom.

My ego is kicking and screaming, I don't really know what to do about it. When it is really angry it gains complete control over me and enters me into an illusory world of negativity. It doesn't like what I'm doing. I don't know how to make it comply, how to gain control over it.

Objections can go both ways,,,

Some 'teachers' can't let go of the fact that their truth is the only truth and allow others to have their own truths,,,

Yes, some can show the way, guide,,, the ending is the truth within,,,,

Who can object to that?

To do so can cause more harm than good,,,
