    Teacher is...

    teacher is one who can help the student to conduct

    his/her own research and not be content with only what

    the teacher says.

    A teacher is aware that the students come from their own

    unique environment, one which often lacks

    moderation. Therefore, he/she has to teach them a sense

    of measure, to curb the one who lacks moderation, relax

    him/her who is emotionally charged, and release those

    who act compulsively. That is to say a teacher helps

    people express themselves while he also helps them seethe "other side of the fence."

    A Teacher is not someone who persecutes falsehood and

    longs for the truth, nor is he/she one who curses falsehood

    and memorizes only what he learned as truth. A Teacher

    manages to see the truth in falsehood and expose the

    falsehood of truth. In other words, a Teacher lies beyond

    the truth and falsehood of men, which means he liesbeyond the illusion of the senses of this world.

    A Teacher is one who tries to teach himself the true

    expression of the I AM Presence. He is one who attempts

    to open channels of light and hope where there is only

    darkness, and when people come to light, helps them

    approach again their darkness and love it as nothing else.

    So, when they have learned to love both light and

    darkness, they have then been taught everything.

    Teaching is to say what you believe for yourself to be right

    at all times. Not repeating what youve heard from your

    teacher, but saying what youve heard from your heart.

    Dont think you have become a teacher when you have

    learned to talk nicely and to attract the others with your

    presence. Becoming a teacher means learning not to

    succumb to the others personal magnetism but to co-

    create something with them only if you really want to.

    You can truly teach only when you yourself have been

    sufficiently taught. This is so not because you have

    learned many things to teach, but because you have been

    humbled enough as a student that you now always honor

    your own students.

    You do not know anything more than others. It is just that

    a number of people agreed to view things through your

    own eyes, and see things the way you do. Honor them for

    this and show them you are grateful that they agreed toco-create with you something you love. Respect should be

    your first and last concern.

    The ego takes charge when people consider themselves

    worthy to learn and share the truth. It steps aside only

    when people accept that they have come together to play

    like children in Earths playground. Learn how to play. A

    teacher is first and foremost a good teammate.

    Be fair to your disciples: help them stop succumbing to

    Teachers and to start honoring the truth in their heart.

    You will fail to become a good teacher if you only repeat

    what was taught to you with affability and

    reverence. Doing this you honor the tradition, but the

    tradition is based both on true findings as well as on

    myths. Teach the path of self-knowledge: it is the only way

    to protect the others from your mistakes.

    Love those who come to you in order to learn. Do not fill

    their souls with burdens and guilts. They bear enough

    already. Fill them with light and let them leave relaxed

    and relieved. Teach them of virtue, but do not forget that

    this is a game too. Every era and culture had and still

    have- their own rules that often contradict one another.

    The law exists to serve man, not for man to serve the

    law. Do not burden the others with weights that you

    cannot carry yourself.

    People do not come to you so that you can show them

    how much knowledge you have. They come to find the

    knowledge they have within them.

    Dont think you have become a good teacher because

    your disciples have succeeded in the work you taught

    them. Consider yourself a good teacher because your

    disciples dared to start a project on their own and puttheir best in it.

    The more free and independent your disciples are, the

    better teacher you've become.

    The truth is that Teachers were invented because the

    students deserved such Teachers.

    Your goal is to share knowledge generously. Think: is your

    teaching something you really know from first-hand?

    Remove from your teachings everything that is

    unnecessary.

    There is no need for many words. Do not talk unless you

    have something to say. Silence teaches more than words

    do, because it makes people turn to their hearts to find

    the answers they need.

    Do not rush to give answers. Instead, help your students

    understand the real cause of their every question. Therein

    lies the most appropriate answer. Each question derives

    from an answer. Follow the river to its source and there

    you will find everything you ask for.

    Problems do not have solutions. They have different

    possible versions. Teach your disciples the way to create

    their own versions. Show them how to co-create with Spirit

    every moment of their life.

    Recognize the contribution of all and share your

    sources. There is nothing new under the sun. The only new

    thing is your observation that sees things from a unique

    point of view. Accept that the others have the right and

    the obligation to stand to their own point of view.

    Finally, do a lot of walking meditation. It will do you good.

    Love animals as well as everything else in nature. A good

    Teacher of Light realizes the unity of All.

    Once a month take some time to teach Nature. Speak with

    plants and animals and the elements of nature and teach

    them all that you know. They listen. After that, sit silent.

    Write down your spiritual experiences every day, andteach your students to do so as well.

    Never burden the others with something that you havent

    managed to do yourself. This is a good measure of your

    own progress.

    Dont ever think that people come to you to find

    God. They come to find themselves - but when they do

    they will have also found God...
