Spiritual Teachers

Now, before anybody else does, I'm going to accuse myself of hypocrisy. I've been writing messages like this one to clarify various spiritual concepts and you could label me as a spiritual teacher if you felt like it. Where's the hypocrisy? Well, in this piece I'm going to explain why you don't need spiritual teachers at all.The Truth that Is Everything Is Within You. It's already Here and no amount of beliefs or teachings are going to reveal this Truth. It Is Who You Are, and beliefs only get in the way. Why would you need to believe you are something when you already Are? You want a Guru? Gee (G), You (U) Are (R) You (U)! When you listen to a spiritual teacher you feed into a subtle illusion. You put Truth on the outside like it's something to be discovered. Your own Awakening then depends on outside things and it becomes something to be achieved. You don't achieve Awakening, You Are Awake. Or you are not, your choice.There's no magical phrase I could say to enlighten a person. You Are Love. Did it work? Are You Love? If you felt anything it's only because it resonated with the Truth Already Alive Within You. A true teacher only assists one in finding what's Already Here. A true Master doesn't create followers, but fellow Masters. Many have come to this Planet and told you we're All Equal. Did Humanity hear them? Did you? Are You Equal?Humanity has been told they're unworthy, that they're less than what they should be and there's something they have to do to become Who They Really Are. In the West it's called salvation, in the East it's called enlightenment. The process for achieving either is slightly different, but the illusion they reinforce is the same. Both put the Truth outside of you and tell you what you have to do to Be Who You Already Are. It's a good scam they've got going, and there's a million spiritual teachers willing to perpetuate this lie. Pay taxes, give to Caesar what is Caesar's. Give to Love what is Love and then you're Free.Spiritual teachers can be quite dangerous, as are many supposed “healers”. Any industry so dependent upon people being sick is ripe with corruption. If you do too good a job, you're out of business. I'll draw a parallel with the medical industry. If they truly prevented disease, they wouldn't have much business. It's far more profitable to treat diseases than to prevent them, so they focus upon medicating the effect instead of eliminating the cause. This is the exact same way most “spiritual” teachers work. They say some stuff to make people feel better about their lives, but they don't address what made people feel bad in the first place. This keeps them coming back every week or forking over another $300 for the next spiritual retreat. Would you like your therapist now? In related news, it's recently been discovered that while acetaminophen takes away the pain, it destroys your liver in the process.A real spiritual teacher assists you in finding Yourself. They help you find, not their truth, but your own Truth Within. Teacher is a mediocre word for someone who does this, spiritual sponsor would be a more accurate description. Or reciprociter. Personally, I'd call them Friends and Family, that's Who We Are. In Equality, who has greater Equality? The one who knows more than somebody else, or the one who shares what they understand?So why do I write this stuff if I'm not trying to teach people anything? Well, why tell someone “Hello”? Why say to another “I Love You”? Why not share the Truth you find with Everybody? It's through sharing Freely, not trying to teach or convince others, that our own sense of Truth flowers. It's when we give of ourselves that we truly give.Unconditional Love from Will, Mother & Father God, and Your Family Of Lighthttp://gflcentral.ning.com

I think the key is alowing. In my view, disagreeing is fine, wouldn't have it any other way, but one must also be big enough and have enough unconditional love to alow for a difference of opinion/belief/*whatever*.....if you know what I mean :)

That could be easier said than done, but if you have a certainty of your own, why feel "threathened" by an opposing view?
And of course, I am not telling anyone that they should, only offering a suggestion, but you could try and keep this in mind the next time you get provoked and in turn, when you are going to repond to a imagined provocation....or the bull of others heh he hehe he he ;)
Coz y'know, everything is bull anyway...right? So there's no need to feel or be uptight about anything, it is supposed to be fun :D

Which leads over to, if you're not having fun, do you blame other's for it or do you question yourself why you bother to care (to the xtent that it ruins your fun) so much about the bull of other's?

To come full circle, it is only fair that everyone get's to bullshit if you are alowed...right? and if noone cares about your bull then why should you care about theirs? If you manage to get into this mind frame...well, then you've come along way in regard to unconditional love, which in it's heart is about alowing. Alowing other's to be and do what they want, be it mistakes or being right (whatever "right" is...right?).

And just to avoid misunderstanding, alowing other's "to do" does not imply that it is OK to be mean or abusive of other's.

    I didn't consider that term, that's what a real "teacher" is.

Oyhhhh....xuse me, but fcuk me coz I'm on this site?

Yea, the best teachers are not the one teaching, but those who inspire you to want to learn about any given subject. And there are many approaches to this, even provokation heh he hehe he, one can be inspired to challenge a "truth" which may open up unknown door's. Another thing is also that, following a strickt curriculum is knowledge that one usually forget minutes after the graduation, while knowledge accuired through inspiration (as in "you want to know", opposed to "you have to know" heh he) last forever...metaphorically speaking of course :)

A BIG Angelic Hug!

"If people judge you that's their problem, not yours." - Will

I feel like this is an issue that we should target..

If everyone is god, then it is reasonable to feel a need for acceptance from these little god shards..

It is enough to make you shut down towards yourself when you dont always meet with approval from your peers.

This is when I feel most enlightened.. when Im not concerned with aquiring more content..

But, there is a fundamental aspect of having peers in your life.. for example, if your bad in prison.. they take you away from all the rapists and murderers of society, and lock you up in solitude!

  The need for acceptance from others is the perfect recipe for co-dependent relationships.
  
  Not that there's anything wrong with acceptance or relationships. It's just that one must learn to accept themselves first, and then people who accept you for who you really are will come along.
  
  What you seem to be advocating is denial of self so you fit in with others who deny themselves as well. That only feeds into a self-destructive society.

    But who you really are is always changing.. it is a child, it is a father, it is a mother.. once you meet someone who acts this way in front of you, you see them as foolish and annoying.. (at least this is my experience with the self around others)
    
    My advice to myself would be: Play your part, and don't take life so personally..
    - Will > Me in 2D July 10, 2009 at 2:46am
      
      But? But what? But is usually indicative of a contradictory statement, but what I said above allows for a "who you really are" that is always changing. In fact, self acceptance and not trying to bend who you are to fit someone else's mold, actually encourages this.
