How to avoid dogma in spirituality!

Despite a very clear initial direction, a spiritual school or religion may find itself swerving from its intended path as it grows. Some religions have become big and / or profitable, and prone to control by powerbrokers or authoritarian, political figures, and mired in dogma, the teachings dry and mechanical. So how can a teacher or a school be certain that a correction in its course is needed? Or that a genuine spiritual message, compelling them in a new direction, has been correctly received?

In this podcast, Uriel Yariv, Tantra teacher from Mahasiddha Yoga School in Thailand, describes to student Vivienne Rush how one way for a spiritual school to remain free from dogma is for teachers and students to authenticate the teachings by taking responsibility for heart-felt practice, and for the truth of their inner spiritual experiences.
