This is good. You have asked and received. That is how it often works.
Always remember that messengers or gurus, whatever their fame and income level, are humans.
As humans, you were created with an ego or identity, that keeps you playing this game called "Life on Earth".
Sometimes those you have admired, fall from grace. This can be a difficult time for you as you often attribute the message with the messenger. You worry that the message might be invalid. You may have been living a lie. Others may even taunt and tease you saying, "Look, your hero has fallen".
The hurt, worry and shame you feel are from your ego trying to deal with it. When this happens, give your ego the day off.
Think about the message. Did it help you? Inspire you? Is your life better for having heard and followed it?
Messengers who gain fame struggle with their ego issues. Some deal with them successfully, others do not. Do not identify them with their message. Do not build your life so firmly around one idea or philosophy that there is no room for change in the light of new evidence.
For all their fame and glorification, a messenger, guide, guru or teacher is merely a channel for spiritual energy. The clearer the channel, the better the message that comes through.
You would not worship your television set because you enjoyed a particularly good program. You are just grateful that it is there and the signal is clear.
Let your heart be the filter that helps you sift through all of the information. Become your own guide or guru with the help of messengers on both sides of the veil.
Feel the truth (or not) of the message, and decide what is right for you. You can do it. We believe in you. ~Silas
