I-Ching of Teaching

“To teach is the fastest way in which to learn.”

To teach is the fastest way in which to learn. In the German language the meaning of the word learning is very close to that of teaching.
The true relationship between teaching and learning is that it takes place at the exact same moment.


martial arts teacher from the movie hero As a teacher of God you are required to take a genuine leap of faith in order to fulfill your desire to experience yourself and the world in an entirely different manner. You must develop a trust that something exists within you that represents and is capable of delivering the truth. You need to leave your fear behind and open yourself to the unknown, the love that is actually there.



“...a conversion takes place,..”

  In order to teach you need to abandon your sense of isolation and enter a real relationship with whatever it was that previously appeared to be detached from you.

Modern painting of yin and yangIn this holy relationship (with another human being, the Holy Spirit or God) a conversion takes place, which leads you from your false disconnected existence to the union with your own wholeness. You undergo an expansion of your mind including either your friend or enemy, merging the spiritual in you with the physical.

Teaching for God activates the ideas that appeared to exist outside of you in an objective material world and reconnects them to the powerful mind that inspires all of creative thought.

Teaching is thus truly a manner of conversion.
A method to undo all the objections you made to everything that is created in perfection, with the light that represents your true Self.


the master's disciple in  mindful expressionEverything is an idea. And there is nothing that you in your capacity of a teacher of God will realize more strongly than the fact that everything is a direct reflection of your own power of thought and the way in which it structures and miscreates ‘reality’.
 
And here you stand in the experience of the return of all these thoughts and judgments that you projected outward, but never actually left your mind. Here you stand corrected in the dawning of a new world, a new perception, a new way of thinking and expressing yourself in wholeness and with true power and humbleness.


“...the master-key...”

three ancient masterful calligraphic  charactersForgiveness is the master-key assigned to you as a teacher of God to help you open all the doors. No longer are you expected to reject, avoid or retreat from your brother.

As a teacher of God you are responsible to repeatedly and consistently open the accurate channels of communication in order to stay clear of all grievances and unmerited ideas, which imprisoned you and your brother through you.

Salvation is therefore solely your responsibility and always first and foremost concerns you.


The teacher of God never seeks outside himself for a solution.
He knows better and points the finger to his own nose. A teacher of God therefore does not acknowledge a definite distinction between himself and who it is he appears to be teaching to. If there is any difference at all it is only a temporary one en you are expected to look beyond that.

“What is there to learn?”

 You learn to recognize your own innocence and perfection through your brother in the acknowledgement of the light that you share.
A teacher of God reminds himself of who he is and what his function is. Your burden is light. You are the light and it is your function to be the light of the world. To be and to have, no longer stand apart.

stepping back from the swordTeaching takes place solely through acceptance and not in the attempt to take possession of another person’s knowledge or in trying to share something that you somewhere in your mind believe to be the only one to have classified access to.

Every idea you share has to be freely given and to all equally.
You learn to accept that you are merely unveiling the Sonship in which every creation of God participate in a magnificent sameness. That is the joy and enlightenment that really takes place in the act of teaching.

“Your only calling here...”

The union of the Son with His Father is already accomplished and you are not asked to achieve this objective with your own efforts, sweat or sword. Your only calling here is to dedicate yourself, with active willingness, to the denial of guilt in all its forms.

I Ching with hexagrams in a cirkel The guilt and fear to which you entirely attached yourself emotionally is undone through declaring this message. The energy that you compacted within your burdened and dense body-form is released, and the power of your mind restored to the freedom of this selfsame power now restored to its own inherent creative capacity. You experience the transition from the solidity of the body still aimed at death, to the fluidity of the body as it becomes the means of communication, to where you experience yourself as pure spirit, entirely free as the thought of God.


“Teaching takes place in every moment.”

Teaching is not a special activity that is set aside from all other activities during your day. Teaching takes place in every moment. Teaching is done through thought, speech and action. No longer are you granted the ‘luxury’ to cherish or transmit private or so-called neutral thoughts. You learn that an entire constellation is affected by your thoughts and that you are incapable of not expressing thought at some level.

No longer are you able to separate out your beliefs, ideas or thoughts from your character, actions and behavior. You teach all during the day, whether you like it or not, you don’t have a choice. You represent one thought-system or the other. You are in an experience of the contracting emotion of fear or the extending emotion of love.

As a teacher of God you develop yourself in accordance with God’s single necessity to reveal God’s will for you and through you.

beautiful chinese lady in wisdom  peace and clarityTo harmonize God’s thoughts in all of the doings to which you are sent. You are learning to convey peace, reason, clarity, wholeness and certainty in an increasingly reliable manner.

It is your greatest honor to represent and realize God’s true nature through all the aspects of your human existence that are in a divine accelerated development since you made the choice to be a teacher of God.
