Nothing wrong with that. The only thing is when you follow someone who's further on the path than you are you will get to things you won't find out (this lifetime) as you have no clue they even exist, or it will take much more time for you to get there.
You can compare it to going to school to learn to read, write and count, learn biology, geography etc. etc., or having to figure it out yourself.
Much easier & faster to go to school as the ones teaching already know, have the methods & experience to teach it to you well.
Had I done everything by myself this life since I set foot on my spiritual path I would not have gotten where I am now, not even close. And I wouldn't even know a quarter of what I now know.
That's the beaut of learning from someone, having a guide.
It's also not everyone's path to channel in/bring down very high energies & information.
The ones I know that run spiritual centres and/or give workshops do have that path & purpose.
They can then pass on that info to other people so they do benefit and evolve from it.
Without these people you wouldn't have access to all that.
As a comparison... you could insist on doing & fixing everything yourself in your home. It would then take forever to for instance have all the electric wiring installed, the water pipes done and sewage & drains.
Why struggle when that's not your thing in life? Better to get an expert in whose path it is in life to do these things.
Now you wouldn't phone an electrician to change a lightbulb, so a bit you do yourself. But when it comes to serious stuff, you do get one in.
Pretty much the same thing.
Also, even when doing the visualisation/meditations/workshops that these people offer it still depends on yourself what you will gain from it. This will be different for everyone, depending on where they are on their path.
Most that work with Diana Cooper have come a long way already, are all Lightworkers, so the vibration during her workshops is very high too. But then still some may get more from it than others.
So the individual aspect is there, even with something that is offered by someone else.
