I feel the
need to be able to move the language in a direction that
can redefine "spiritual teacher" as one who is teaching
Life, one who is teaching from the direct experience of Life,
not through system, belief, concept, lineage or tradition.
For some reason, it is very difficult for the human intellect
to accept direct experience; it wants the validation of the
past. It wants a record, an authority, a system,
a structure, a big organization. Without a big organization,
the intellect thinks, "It can't be real." But
if you look at the world, at the authorities and organizations,
you see they are not real at all, but the intellect is attached
to those things.
Upon
awakening I saw that there was a need for someone to be an example
of living it moment by moment, instead of talking about it.
It’s unavoidable to talk about it in language. Yet I feel
that human communication is taking place beyond language, that
there is also a physical, bodily communication that takes place.
When other bodies are around this (Ishvara’s) body, those
other bodies say, “Well, something more is possible here,
genetic enhancement is possible, other ways
of seeing things are possible.” This supports physical
transformation. So it seems that, instead of talking about it,
now is the time to exemplify it, to literally be the living
example of The Consciousness, to be the example of presence
and to let individuals see that it actually works; to demonstrate
that there is Life after enlightenment and that we don’t
have to go somewhere else. We don’t have to be something
else to be the embodiment of The Consciousness. We are that
embodiment already, and we just need to be it.
