Impeccable folk need no one to guide them.

IMO impeccable people need no one to guide them, by oneself, through saving energy, one can to anything that the so called "enlightened" do.
How to save energy? The biggest way to save energy is to lessen indulgence in self-importance. "Self importance is our greatest enemy. Think about it---what weakens us is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of our fellow men. Our self-importance requires that we spend most of our lives offended by someone or something"
A sense of sobriety leads to awareness and internal strength. "Internal strength means a sense of equanimity, almost indifference, a feeling of being at ease, but, above all, it means a natural and profound bent for examination, for understanding." These are the traits of sobriety.
"All that is required is impeccability, energy, and begins with a single act that has to be deliberate, precise and sustained. If that act is repeated long enough, one acquires a sense of unbending intent, which can be applied to anything else. If that is accomplished the road is clear"

They just need a book author to guide them, but no one else.

I agree.

A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

It seems just as good to get ideas from a book as anywhere else. Are all of your ideas completely original?

First off, my ideas are not the topic of the thread.
Secondly, how does an author equate to 'no one'?
How does instruction = non-guidance?

This means that one does not follow by faith or without question the teachings of others.

Perhaps I'd amend that to blind faith. If you question the teachings of someone, then there's faith in your own powers of reason and logic. Nothing wrong with that, just realize that there is faith involved. I don't think that basic trust or faith is a major issue. Blind faith is, I'd say, the real issue.

That's true, the money you saved is a medium for creating personal energy.
