A way of being...

I wonder: could these spiritual teachers fall prey, like any of us may, to the allure of falsity? 

I consider religious and spiritual philosophies as a buffet presented to me. I sample a bit of this dish and that dash; I enjoy what I like and leave the rest, based on my resonances. I patch and quilt together.

Yes they can! and I wondered a bit about that too, since they seemed to be very advanced and i always admired how for example Mooji seemd so often to have exactly the right words for those who asked him questions during satsang. 
The answer was shown to me like that - even after "enlightenment" there needs to be constant vigilance bc of those pitfalls and as long as the ego has not been TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY annihilated there is always the possibility that the "loyal opposition" may sneak back in and the two most common allures indeed seem to be sex and money.... and the ego being the false entity it is it will hook on to other falsehoods such as those

And yes, same here... it's a buffet and I pick and choose what resonates and leave the rest

I agree, but I think the ego has its utility at first... lol
