the bad student
Imagine for a moment if you will an imaginary teacher in an imaginary
classroom full of imaginary students. Got it? After a long period of time a student proves to the teacher that he or she has not done his/her homework, has not read the required reading, has put out no effort at all to go beyond the place he or she was at when he or she first entered the classroom, despite all the various methods the teacher has employed at their very limited disposal to motivate the student. Having taught every level of school up through University I know that sometimes, no matter what the teacher does, their are some students who just will not motivate themselves to go beyond a certain point in their lives (unless of course the teacher gives them all his or her attention and effort). This then is the ībad studentī, the one who will always blame the teacher just as a bad workman will always blame his tools. And what kind of person is the workman or student who never even bothers to pick up the tools given to them and at least make an effort to use them? Since the Universe is a classroom of sorts of souls learning lessons and working toward graduating into Mastership, this then is a very appropriate analogy for what we currently see in so many souls around us - those who are waiting for the tsunami wave to crash over their heads before they make a run for it (let alone helping anyone else to get out of the way). These are the people as in the hurricane picture Suzy sent to us who once the disaster happens will then blame the weatherforecasters for not stimulating them enough to get off their lazy asses and move, and then will seek government help to get back on their feet so they can not do anything again next time. What then should the teacher do but to ask the student to leave the class because they are īdead woodī and only drag down the consciousness of all there with their energy-sucking laziness and uncaring attitudes. And what is always their fondest reason for their own lazy attitudes? Of course, itīs all Godīs fault: "I understand your reasons to motivate people today, especially in these times, but I also believe if someone "jumps off the fence" (even if itīs at the last second), they still did the right thing and God loves them as much as anyone else - - even as much as the "very few". This person was on this planet, as Guidance relates, specifically to learn the lesson that most of us need to learn that spirituality is about what you do for other people, not about what you do for you. All their life they have been only about themselves. And now another lifetime wasted in failing to learn that simple lesson. And so we all move on hoping that we too have learned this the most basic lesson of all. 2007-10-09 |
