One look from my teacher and every one of them vanished. It took me years to understand why he never answered. - Author: Iggy Ardo - Tags: Spiritual Growth Sometimes I would try to catch the teacher, Dr. Wolf, when he was alone and in a good mood. (His name “Vuk” literally means wolf.) I did my best to get his undivided attention so he might calmly clarify the subjects that were unclear to me. In those situations, Wolf often teased me: "Here comes Iggy and his thousand questions." Once, while he was smoking his pipe on the porch of the house on Mount Golija and gazing into the distance, I sat down next to him with a smile, happy to have caught him alone. "Do you have a little time?" I asked. I had a bunch of questions in mind. He looked at me piercingly with his deep black eyes. His gaze shot right through me, I should rather say. "I’m listening," he answered in a calm, deep voice. His gaze penetrated me. All my questions vanished from my mind in a second. WTF?!? What the hell just happened? I tried to recall anything that had been running through my mind a moment ago. Without success. We sat in silence like that, looking at each other for a while. "Never mind, another time..." I lowered my eyes, crestfallen. I stood up and gave a sour smile, walking away confused. “How did the old man manage to block my mind so easily?” I wondered. ****The Shamanic Rule Of The Teacher's Silence** For years, it frustrated me when Dr. Wolf would not speak, until I understood: a true teacher does not withhold answers out of stinginess but because they don’t allow you to turn their own experience into your mental projection. It was a serious pedagogical decision, one I could not understand at the time. Since I rarely got ready-made answers, I was directed toward developing an understanding of my own. The truth about the Astral is not taught — it is built through one's own experience. For the same reason, Wolf never gave in to my insistence to try to explain what the Astral was. For many years, I had astral and mental journeys without having any idea what the Astral was or where we were “going.” My deep curiosity only fueled the search for an explanation within all that ignorance. I tried to dig at least some hints out of Wolf, if I could not get an explanation. But all that was without success. I also spoke with other, more senior disciples as well, but none of them had an understanding that would satisfy me. Nor did they seem confident in their own concepts. Only over many years on the shamanic path and by practicing the techniques, did I gradually shape my own understanding of the concept of the Astral and of the Universe as a whole. ****This is one chapter of a much longer journey.** ****The excerpt ends, but the journey continues.** The rest — more real-life shamanic stories and spiritual insights — is in my book "****Astral World and Inorganic Beings."** [![CTA Image](https://storage.ghost.io/c/20/e9/20e98126-39e2-4fb0-9855-d80878f54d11/content/images/2026/10/B001---Ghost-Medium--2400x1350---Small--1.jpg)](mailto:iggyardo@terrasecreta.net) ****GET A FREE BOOK - EARLY READERS WANTED** ****I’m looking for early readers.** You get a free book (PDF and EPUB).
