Recently, the urge to finally see what it is that I am really here for became stronger than ever... pondering, asking my girlfriend, I come to the inescapable conclusion that I am...
A messenger of the Lord, however minor a one I may be. A kind of spiritual teacher. I have been trying to be this, in a fairly literalistic fashion, on Cosmic Teachings and my video teaching project, but without much of an audience. The next stage is to address my audience better. Be less self-satisfied. Reach out and touch people, the way some of my better photos do.
This means teaching with stories, the original promise of RE- reality education. Alongside and within them can be spiritual facts, just as Obi Wan and other Jedi occasionally teach in the midst of star Wars action and romance. but the dominant theme for most people must be the story- this is what draws them in and keeps them excited. This is what attracts me as well, so it would be hypocritical to deny this.
Even Jesus taught the masses with stories and parables- reserving their exact explanations for close followers, which can be found in the New Testament and even more so in the Urantia Book (if you trust it, as I do).
To be a spiritual teacher is not necessary to be otherworldly all the time. It is to relate the ways of heaven to those of the Earth, even if they contrast, so as to teach as many people as possible- for as long as possible.
