Everyone's a Guru! 2016/2017
Works on paper
Everyone's a Guru is a playful look at how we can subjugate ourselves to those who have seemingly supernatural powers.
In India, many seek a guru (teacher) sometimes without any awareness of their perceived wisdom. Whilst the guru system is an important part of Indian spirituality and can carry great nuggets of wisdom, philosphy and truth, it can also relegate ones own unique wisdom and intuiton for an inherited system that may not have any substance.
The average person is quite capable of pursuing their own self guided spiritual pilgrimage and does require permission to seek the Divine that is omnipresent..
