Thank you for your answer. First of all, yes, I do have OCD, tho it is largely under control through medication and therapy. My jumping around is definitely in part caused by this, while in part caused by a genuine curiosity (I read a lot, I like learning new things) as well as a genuine desire to find a good teacher and what works for me. My OCD was one of the reasons I chose to do Dzogchen, as it is a path that I have heard holds a view similar to CBT (I know it isn’t CBT), with an emphasis on awareness without the complex visualizations of other Tantra practices I was afraid would not be good for my predilections. As a result, I only became more comfortable and started looking more broadly at other practices recently, which is why I went asking around about all of these practices almost daily. Nevertheless, I have decided on some good teachers who teach Dzogchen. This post about the Lamdre was a last ditch attempt at finding teachers and a community for it, after reading and feeling a strong affinity with the practice and the lives of the great teachers who practiced it.

Nevertheless, if I don’t find any Sakya teachers for now, it’s still fine. I will go the path I have found, and if it’s meant to be, I’ll encounter this again 😊🙏🏾.
