Lee Lozowick
Lee Lozowick embodies the power of the guru. Using humor as a tool, and going for the ego jugular, he modeled the teaching of shocking people out of their conditioned minds. He feels that it is precisely because we operate from our conditioned mind, that people need teachers.
Lozowick notes that confusion arises when we reference what we don’t understand out of the place of our neurosis. He also talks about the importance of being aware of transference and counter-transference issues between student and teacher, and stressed the qualities of discipline, and perspective, and the willingness to do the difficult work. Most emotional pain, he said, is self-created. The answers to our anguish and questions can come through us when we are free of our neurosis. A good guru, or teacher should be the catalyst for this to happen.
