Hey Nanette

Pls don’t feel that I am offended. Perhaps, I did not articulate myself well when I was talking about the aspect of “teaching”. I agree that we are all learning and teaching others in some form or other. I was trying to understand the “underlying” intention of teaching others. I will try again 🙂

When our intention of teaching others becomes based on a desire to bring about a change in the other person as we feel they could benefit from it, then it can erode our own positive energy. On the other hand, if we our intention is to only grow and hope our experiences can inspire others to bring about a positive change (when and how the other person wants it), then our actions do not lead to unfavourable outcomes. We are not interfering actively in other people’s journey.

It is basically saying that I accept myself the way I am but I also accept everyone else as they are. It is honouring ourselves and others for the perfect higher beings (not humans) that we are. It is also affirming that I am not here to show anyone their path or lead others onto to a better path as I don’t know any better (we are all students in the big schemes of things and the day we start thinking of ourselves like a teacher, our arrogance takes over the inward journey). Everyone is on their own journey and if I can aid them along the way, well and good but without an expectation for such a change.

Hope this makes it a little more clear. If it doesn’t, no worries either 🙂

Love your 2 posts on TB. Keep up the good work.
