A Lesson from the Spirit
Teacher
"Why can't you tell me exactly where to go?"
"You must find the way yourself, just as you found the entrance.
It is the task of parents, as of teachers, not to open every door of access for a student, but to teach them to see those doors themselves.
And then, in passing on your own knowledge, you become a teacher to other students.
You pass on the knowledge and energies that are laid within you. And so, like a chain reaction, pearls of others unfold from one consciousness.
You are all at that level of awareness which allows you to look deeper into yourself and feel those horizons, those expanses, that you could only have dreamed of before.
Your courtesy and willingness help you in this work.
When you pass by someone, hold your gaze for a moment on how that person eats, adjusts their bag, or speaks.
Any habits are skills honed over years.
And in those habits you can read the stories of that person, the ones they are ready to share with you.
Observance sometimes plays an important role. Here, through your attentiveness, you read and absorb the experience of the Soul that is willing to share with you through expression, gesture, speech. The years are transmitted, which, synchronizing with you, complete your personal space, which grows into something larger and more expansive in experience and knowledge.
Accepting another's experience does not mean intruding into their life, taking on all their bitterness and pain. It means understanding the mechanism, the working principle.
Do you remember I told you at first about the doors that a teacher does not open but teaches the student to find and open on their own?
Having those keys, the experience of another Soul, you, like that diligent student capable of receiving this knowledge, find the very keys, the missing fragments to restore the inner picture of what is happening.
And where you could not find an exit because you did not see the necessary door, you easily open an important part of yourself.
By accepting every little thing, every lesson in your observation for good, you hasten the process of your own learning.
We often complain that someone won't point out the correct route for us, when we ourselves must learn to find the needed door. That is the task of the teacher and the parent—to teach. And then we ourselves, receiving knowledge, become teachers for others, guides. This is the unity of souls—joining common efforts.
Therefore, attentiveness and care allow us to adopt the experience and knowledge of others. We complete someone else when we complete ourselves.
