While I understand what you're getting at, nobody lives in a vacuum. I read the writings of mystics, saints, and teachers because I want their perspective on things spiritual, to compare to my own experiences, point of view, etc.
Going inside myself is all well and good (and I do), but that doesn't mean I can't have an interest in the words of those who have taken the spiritual path in the past. There's a great deal of wisdom and enlightenment to be found in the writings of the great teachers. Sometimes, just hearing/reading the words of some great saint can spark a whole new awakening, great or small.
There's absolutely no need to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
