Today\u2019s reading is a request to commit to the inner Teacher. From this point forward, I am not your teacher. I am a facilitator, a helpmate. The teacher resides within you. I am here to help you become Self-reliant with your inner Teacher.<\/p>\n

The outer teacher helps awaken the student to the inner Teacher. The inner Teacher awakens the student to consciousness. Truth Itself awakens consciousness to Truth.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s reading begins by giving you authority to teach, and it emphasizes that the one you teach is yourself. I\u2019d like to share some comments about teaching. I have been a teacher and course writer since 1988. My career began in the Air Force, where I developed courses that taught new recruits how to be Radio Communications Analysts. When I got out of the Air Force, I got a job as a software trainer and course developer. Later, I transferred to soft skills, which included topics like management training, communication skills, change management, etcetera. In late 2004, I received a calling to write for Holy Spirit and teach what I write. I\u2019ve been doing that since then.<\/p>\n

In these 30 years of writing courses and teaching, I\u2019ve learned that the best way to learn something is to teach it. Jesus must have known this too, because he wasn\u2019t with the disciples for long before he sent them out to the villages to teach. (See Matthew 10 in the Bible.)<\/p>\n

Most people make a mistake when they think of teaching. They think that in order to teach, you must be an expert in the field. That\u2019s not true. Every single course I have ever taught, from software to soft skills to spiritual, has always been at the leading edge of my own learning. When Jesus sent the disciples out to teach, they were far from being masters. However, he knew that it was only through doing that they would learn about the wisdom that resided within them.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve mentioned that inner wisdom is repressed for most humans. Teaching (sharing) is a great way to bring wisdom out of repression into conscious awareness. However, when you teach you cannot teach from the idea, \u201cI am supposed to know\u201d and \u201cI am teaching others.\u201d When you teach, you teach from the idea, \u201cI don\u2019t know\u201d and \u201cI am here to learn.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of you answered the call to teach when I put out that call last year. Now, I will revise that call somewhat. I would like you to consider teaching from your own journals, from the writing you do with Spirit as you go through Gentle Healing. The wisdom and guidance that comes through that writing is the wisdom and guidance that will guide you \u201cever so gently, to the point of knowing your Self again.\u201d There is nothing better to teach, because there is nothing more important to learn.<\/p>\n

In the past, I taught from my journal through the Holy Spirit Guides<\/a> series. Now, I teach through my journal when I teach Seven Steps to Awakening<\/a> on Sunday nights.<\/p>\n

Please consider teaching from your journal. When you do, although you are teaching yourself, it is important to communicate as if<\/em> you are teaching others. In other words, you want to have the intention of fully communicating so that others can understand<\/u>. When you teach in this way, more clarity will come to you, and what you understood before will become enhanced \u201cby a hundred times as much.\u201d (Ref: Matthew 19:29) Note: Those of you who participated in dyads at the Fall Retreat understand the value of communicating in this way.<\/em><\/p>\n

Some of you teach in the Sanctuary now from books written by others. Consider repurposing your teaching time to share from your journal instead. If you feel there isn\u2019t enough material in your journal to fill the timeslot, begin your teaching time by sharing from your journal and then go to the book you are sharing from after that. Another option is to continue with the book you are sharing from now, but whenever it connects with your journal, bring your journal into the sharing.<\/p>\n

If you do not have a teaching time in the Sanctuary, but you are willing to answer this call to teach, contact us<\/a>. We can rearrange our schedule somewhat in order to find additional time slots. If we can\u2019t find a time slot for you now, we will put your name on a waiting list until a time opens up.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve spent a lot of time talking about the first couple of paragraphs in Chapter 10, because I feel there is a lot of confusion about the value of teaching. However, let me take another moment to comment on another key point<\/em> in Chapter 10.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important that we realize the difference between the eternal and the temporal. This is one of the most important of all spiritual realizations. Take time to notice over and over again<\/em> that you\u2014the seer, the watcher, awareness\u2014are ongoing, while everything that you perceive comes and goes. Thoughts come and go; emotions come and go; relationships come and go; problems come and go; but the witnessing presence that you are remains constant. Notice this<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
