Teacher and Pupil


It is not arrogance to declare myself as a teacher of God. The classroom after all in which I find myself are my own memories of the past. My world

I am responsible.Who else could take them again from the inspiration of the hands of the Holy Spirit and see them in a new Light, the corrected idea from the idea of a mistake.

In the new Light,  I touch the world of all its forms, I touch all those I meet with the Love of God.

If I let the past touch me, tell me who I am, I am ever wrestling with the fear that made the past seem to be real.

Each day is a perfect design to again remember cause and effect, and that God only gives.

When pupil and teacher come together, a teaching-learning situation begins.

For the teacher is not really the one who does the teaching. God's Teacher speaks to any two who join together for learning purposes. The relationship is holy because of that purpose, and God has promised to send His Spirit into any holy relationship.

In the teaching-learning situation, each one learns that giving and receiving are the same. The demarcations they have drawn between their roles, their minds, their bodies, their needs, their interests, and all the differences they thought separated them from one another, fade and grow dim and disappear.

Those who would learn the same course share one interest and one goal. And thus he who was the learner becomes a teacher of God himself, for he has made the one decision that gave his teacher to him.

He has seen in another person the same interests as his own.
