Teaching Metaphysics

Teachers often understand that there are some students with a naive reality who often fear letting go of it, or advancing beyond it, in order to learn. They try to be patient because of this, but there are times they do become vexed. 

After all, no one can teach who they cannot reach. Sometimes, teachers have to step back and ask themselves: is this person open to receive - is this person worth any more of my time - has this person become unreachable? 

There is no difference in teaching metaphysics. In the many years of teaching this subject, I've learned that I cannot teach anyone unwilling or unable. It's a sad realization that must be similar to how doctors feel when they lose a patient. Sometimes, we have no choice but to let go. 

There is also the hesitation and trepidation some teachers feel when it comes to teaching certain things. This is because we understand the responsibility that goes along with the lessons. It's similar to training a law enforcement officer and knowing the dangers that can occur later. These feelings are the same with metaphysical teachers. Will the students be able to defend and protect? Will the students misused their power. Many won't want this path because of it. To each their own. 

Thankfully, there are people who understand their limitations, or the limitations the universe may have placed on them, in order to move on without judgment. Yet, there have been many who have gone the distance and received degrees, making the teacher/student journey worthwhile. This helped me to be patient and understanding, plus much more: I learned to utilized the wisdom of higher awareness even through them. 

Furthermore, I learned something very perplexing, but understandable, from these metaphysical students: forgetting what they were taught. After making over 300 soul beginning videos, I, eventually, realized that in any fight or flight mode, many spiritually aware students often reverted back to their core programming. This is a deep, genetic, soul programming that is carried within them lifetime after lifetime. Changing this core programming may take time, if at all, and only with the student's allowance. However, it may be more difficult for some than others, similar to asking a dog to be a horse. Or, per the saying: you can take the boy out of the country but you can't take the country out of the boy.  

Which is why, in reflecting back on this journey, I discovered that teaching metaphysics has many similarities to teaching any subject, especially when it comes to understanding who is ready to learn... in order for the best possible path to be taken for all concern. Additionally, knowing when to push a little harder, in helping to advance in knowledge, is imperative too. If not, we may still be fishing with our hands.
