Replying to Avatar Ava

> Remember, I am no teacher; I can merely be a signpost for a traveler who is lost. It is up to you to decide on the direction. All I can offer is an experience but never a conclusion, so even what I have said needs to be thoroughly examined by you. I might be able to help you to discover and examine your problem by awakening your awareness. A teacher, a good teacher that is, functions as a pointer to truth but not a giver of truth.

Yes. It's in Shannon's book. He also wrote a shortened version of this in a screenplay to a movie that never got filmed called, Northern Leg, Southern Fist. It is based on tradition zen teaching, but beautifully articulated by Bruce.
