How to identify a real master or teacher?
This was the topic of my last Thai/English video with Kay and I would like to add a few things, maybe clarify.
This whole topic is very much depending on one’s consciousness level. What can you perceive? This will determine your journey.
We can find a master or teacher everywhere in our lives all the time. The interesting thing is that the so called “master” or “teacher” is often now aware that he is playing that role for someone else.
One of the first thing that comes up is that we always call forth in our lives what we need and all the teachers are here around us. They come into our lives when WE are ready and have an affinity to meet them.
Now there are also teachers and masters that have gone to school to learn something and master a skill that you can learn and they are professional teachers or masters. It is easy to understand what they are teaching as long as it is something material like a cocking, painting etc and other skills that we can afterwards decide if it’s something I want to learn more and master myself or move on to a next topic.
In the spiritual realm it is much more difficult and in today’s world of deception there are many masters and teachers who follow not the light. Maybe that has started this way, but then there come survival issues... money, fame etc. There are many who are able to lure people into their groups because they promise something attractive. They have some very powerful insights in the psyche of humans and can use it. It is even ok to learn from them, they also have a very important role to play here.
I was teaching 4 decades and I went myself through the different kind of insights on my journey. When I look back there were many things I was passionate about that I had let go at one point. I had to move on! Many looked at this as "instability", but if we want to move forward, we have to let old things behind!
A real teacher and master is always authentic. Because s/he loves his/her work, there is a certain purity to it. This is what you have to look for: is this teacher/master living what s/he is teaching?
Every one is on a journey through this life. Nobody is restricted to stay with one subject and if you understand your life’s journey, you know what is waiting for you around the corner. You know when it is time how to expand your experience and skills and can consciously look further for a teacher.
A teacher that is authentic is always very fond of his/her work and presents it in a passionate way. As soon as the passion is not there anymore, a teacher/master also has to move on to a new insight, new understanding. We are on a journey that is not only straight forward, sometimes we have to climb mountains or descend into caves to find that what we need. An experience can be happy or painful, both is important in life.
You can see that some spiritual teachers sometimes suddenly disappear and resurface a while later with new offers. This is the way because this teacher is also willing to learn. As long as we live, we experience more and move forward in our journey. Sometimes it is more physical moving and literally learn a new skill, or sometimes its a quiet time for meditation and insights.
A teacher that is on the path to enlightenment is never promise you any thing. The journey if each individual is unique and the further you go, the less friends you have along the road. Its not so easy to move upstream, to climb a mountain takes an effort. Every time you move on you have to let go of something old.
You have to become more light.... every step is important and no teacher can be a shortcut!
A teacher and a master are signposts on the way. Don’t stay with one for too long, unless s/he is moving forward too and becomes a companion on the journey.
Mastery is a tricky expression: a kid from kindergarten, say 4 year old, can master to walk on a line…or sing a song. S/he has mastered that skill. But this kid won’t walk on the line the rest of his/her life or sing the same song. They will learn a lot more songs and ways to walk.
This might sound silly, but I assure you that lots of people are still walking that line…..and singing the same songs!
Go into your feelings, look at the person you want to learn from more than just material skills with the eyes of the heart! Don't let yourselves be distracted by material promises.
Don’t give your power away to a teacher and master. Learn from them as long as you “feel” it right, and then move on!
You don’t hug the sign post on the way to your destiny, you use them to get there!
