Guidance is Plentiful

"I'm not a teacher; only a fellow traveler

of whom you've asked the way.  I pointed

ahead ... ahead of myself as well as you."

George Bernard Shaw

It seems a teacher gives us knowledge and the student learns to apply the knowledge.  Technically,  in the end, the student can brilliantly by pass the teacher.  If the teacher is 'full of himself' or herself, we may not learn much at all, except not to be like our teacher.

The best teachers are the ones who are willing to be quiet with you.  They will share wisdom they have learned, but do not expect the student to experience it in the very same why.  An advanced teacher may know the answer is residing within the student's mind, so will silently hold space.

We can be teachers to each other by sharing our challenges and coping skills.  By disclosing our mistakes to trusted friends, we can increase self-worth by reviewing our corrective solutions.  While observing nature, the Divine teacher speaks to us.  We receive guidance through the flight of the birds;  the resilience of the trees; the shift shaping clouds; and various landscapes. Depending upon our awareness, guidance can be plentiful.
