If you fall down the stairs, and that expereince learns you something. Then the stairs was your Teacher. So actually the whole "organic" world is our Teacher, and not only a Mahatma with a 19th century India-Himalaya beard.

Not to mention all other worlds, planes, experiences and whatever? But I tend to agree with Geralds' comment ... Uh, maybe if I were to add some qualifiers to that, just in case: Or I tend to find some interest in his comment which I'm think I might tend to interpret to the effect that "Teacher" with a cap T could be defined as one who can somehow offer at least snippets of his "direct experiences" to some people (if I have that any of my speculation about that topic in any kind of line with Gerald's intended meaning) ... Well, if you want, you can check out what he said on Theosophy Study List. Not that I know what exactly Gerald might've meant by "direct" in that context, since I don't seem to have experienced much in the way of ... certain kinds of "direct/er" experiences (say ...), apparently, (unless I just forgot or my defining is missing something). Even my speculations about certain kinds of "direct/er" experiences seem to have gone over kind of like lead balloons (apparently ...), but I guess that's why such experiences are called what they're called, and I guess that's why some students might be seen to benefit from a "Teacher," in some cases, maybe.

Speculatively,
Mauri
