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.
