But better don't because with modern capabilities they don't work anymore.
A lot of UFO peeps have wondered at some point in time of how the evolution shapes we see has happened.
And the obvious answer is: because our technological capabilities have increased.
Imagine a very assymetrical relationship, where one knows everything including the thoughts & dreams of the other and the other doesn't even know there is any other intelligence besides themselves in the universe (I prefer multiverse, but matter of taste at this point).
Religion is crap, not going to argue about that, however it is record and history of how long humans have interacted with that (or many) intelligences.
I don't know how familiar you are with your own mind?
Have you ever observed it without trying to influence it? Are you even aware that most of the time when you meditate or do any of our esoteric and spiritual practices you apply force to your mind.
The only time your mind is free is when your attention is elsewhere and you just let it run in the background without paying attention what you actually think or do, you just 'enjoy' or not so much or whatever feeling comes with it.
Our human culture was for a very long time a strife for more leisure.
Alas some circles have lived that luxurious life of following your own thoughts and realised: that is not just me.
The occult secret: no matter how hard you try you are never alone.
And if you think youu are, you are in denial.
Denial is also a very powerful tool of control. You shy away from whatever is associated with it, to a point where you go to extreme lengths to keep that lie up that protects your feelings.
That was done on purpose. There is also nothing particularly malicious about it, people most of the time think they are 'right' or doing 'a good thing' those that enjoy being evil genuinely are very rare.
But the effects of 'good deeds' are not always contributing to a person's general happiness and well-being.
Both to those receiving them and handing them out.
This is also not really about humans, I think I drifted a little, but I'll leave it for context.
In our mind is another (as in not your own) intelligences testing us.
I've been trying to find a better frame work for it than religion, but alien and demons and gnomes don't really overcome the natural xenophobia reflex such a statement brings with itself in those not 'into it'.
The thing is that what I said above:
Imagine a very assymetrical relationship, where one knows everything including the thoughts & dreams of the other and the other doesn't even know there is any other intelligence besides themselves in the universe
is how it is. We don't call the shots around here.
We get tested, sorted and sent on to the next level or recycled.
So nobody is asking anybody to fall on their knees, but peeps please: watch your thoughts.
Nothing on here is sufficiently serious or important to sacrifice your soul to hate.

The Guru is just a failable fellow who doesn't know more than the blind sheep following them.
That was the point of the OP.
I was talking about observing your mind, because if you do you will realise you are never alone.
The mind is the mediator. You need no special practices or someone who thinks they're special.
It is happening right now and always and all 'spiritual teachings' are garbage.
