Always follow your passion. Listen to your inner guidance. It doesn't matter if 1, 10, 100 or 1000 people are telling you otherwise, as true inner guidance will only bring more light to the world.
One thing to take into consideration when starting or opening a new group is that objective material is subjectively interpreted.
People take different meanings from the same messages. Who's opinion takes precedence? This is where the majority of 'ego collisions' occur, and can easily create levels of hierarchy. To combat this, one needs an open system in which any member may openly, and without judgement, offer an opinion regarding a particular subject, in which everybody contemplates. Action is taken as an equal group. Easier said than done, as some people are influenced by others easily and hence, true balance is hindered.
Remember, one can act as a beacon of light regardless of the form of service. Love can be chosen and radiated at any, and every, moment in the eternal now. Do this to the best of your ability and your service to humanity will be of upmost value.
This is the power that true masters have; their inner radiance attracts those to them who seek their help. Yogi's often wander the world without a formal structure of teaching, following only guidance from the heart/higher self.
Churches, religion, spiritual orders and all of that have one thing in common; formal structure. Here, spirituality is easily distorted. True spirituality, at it's essence, is living with integrity, making choices aligned with your own truths, while at the same time honouring and accepting the truths of others. One cannot be more spiritual than that :¬)
Peace brother, and all the best with your endeavours of discovering more of yourself.
