My Role As A Teacher And Guide

As I teacher and guide, my role is to bring you to a place of self-discovery and self-realization:
  • There are forces that PULL you TOWARDS me, so you can learn about the quality of bestowal. You have to respect someone who teaches and guides you.
  • On the other hand, there are forces that PUSH you AWAY from me, so you can grow. This is a journey of self-discovery and self-realization - you have to discover and realize who you are. I can't discover you, for you. You have to discover yourself. You have to do the work, you have to walk the path. It's not about me, it's about you and you have to realize your own potential within the quality of bestowal.
When a baby is born, s/he is under his/her parents care, but eventually the child grows and begins to do things for him/herself. However, there's one thing to point out:
  1. In this world (the quality of selfishness), as children grow, they become independent, which means they become less reliant on their parents and they find new ways to benefit THEMSELVES. This DECREASES the connection between us because we all become isolated in personal selfishness.
  2. In the next world (the quality of bestowal), as children grow, they become independent, which means they become less reliant on their parents and they find new ways to benefit OTHERS. This INCREASES the connection between us because we become connected in mutual bestowal.
This means that as a teacher, my role is to bring you to independence within the quality of bestowal, which also means we'll become more connected with each other. We'll all find new ways to benefit each other and we'll become connected in mutual bestowal.

Eventually, you'll come to realize that we're all equal. I have my role to play and you have yours. Each and every one of us has a unique role to play. Once we realize our roles, we'll independently seek to benefit each other and become increasingly interconnected and interdependent.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Do not be afraid. God is with us.
