Theos-Talk Archives (July 2009 Message tt00191)

Hmmm, let's see.  Ghandi never faced a real opponent, Stalin would  have 
had him for lunch and Mother Theresa was a ghoul who fed off the energies  of 
the dying.  I don't know what they were teaching but it ain't anything I  
would want to learn.
 
I'm saying we need to get away from the notion of teachers as identifiable  
agents altogether.

So you are saying that World Teachers are known by their actions rather  
than their words?  If this is the case one could argue that Gandhi and  Mother 
Theresa were world teachers.

I suppose one can walk with world  teachers or one can walk behind them.   
A spiritual evolved soul is  probably on the way to being his/her own world  
teacher.
