Becoming A Teacher

This is a lived experience. It is not going to find you if you are not to become it. You are the path. You are your art. You are your craft, and your life’s work. The journey you live for the world is your destiny. You are your destiny: your lived experience as a selfless expression of your soul as your unique gift to the world out of compassion. 

As you walk along your path, something beautiful unfolds. You will feel the selfless desire to serve out of joy. You will naturally want to share your experience. Don't force this transition; fall into it naturally. When teaching happens through you, let it. What is meant to unfold always unfolds naturally. Simply make art, and live life consciously. Face your past and shed all that is not inherent in your soul. Unbecome. Unbecome and end in God.

A teacher doesn't teach. A teacher is the embodiment of their teaching. Their natural soul expression is the teaching. It is inner knowing and unfolds within the heart as such. You become your teaching. Until that doesn't happen, you are not a teacher. Your lived path, the pain you conquer, is your teaching. You are your teaching. You speak from experience. You are That. You are what you teach. You have walked the road, and you effortlessly guide others to embark on that very journey. 

Your art becomes a piece of truth in time. Your art holds the truth and is your teaching. You may teach by speaking/ writing, or you may simply make art and let your art do the talking. You teach through direct experience through artefacts of you (art). Teaching through art. Art that teaches. You are your art. There’ll be no distinction left. Your art emanates the truth, imparts life, and gives a taste. It is alive as you created it as a piece of life in a state of communion with life. Your art is your highest teaching. Direct experience of God within. You are what you worship. 

You teach without intention. Your natural soul expression brings the healing. You don’t seek to impart anything. Life teaches; you are a vessel for the teaching to shine through. You don’t claim to be a teacher, you are That. You are a teacher by frequency. You are what you teach. You do not claim to be anything. You do not seek to become rich or famous from your art. Your art is a selfless expression of your soul out of joy. Out of your compassion, you share your art selflessly. Soulful art naturally awakens ripe hearts. 

Don’t stand in the way of life. Humbleness and simplicity are the doors. Intelligence only abides in pure vessels. Empty your being. Only selfless beings can enter the kingdom of heaven. As long as you are this and that and seek to be turned into the saviour, you are lost and can only confuse your students. Be a vessel of truth instead of a clown.

The foolish ones make art. The wise ones are art. You can practice yoga, but you will never be yoga by practising it. You are that or you are not. You are life or you are death. Choose wisely.

Writing is meditation. Speaking is meditation. Cleaning is meditation when you are aligned with life. It is the middle path. Neither action nor passivity. Non-action. Resting through action. Being. Active meditation. Alignment with life. Balance, simplicity, truth. Blissful emptiness. 

When you are alive, you capture life. When you are death, you capture death. Today, we are in the age of dead art. This is the era of death. Be a forerunner, taste, and impart life. Don’t perpetuate death. Come alive. The golden age holds masterworks. Today, dying souls sing of death.

If you make art as your soul, your art becomes life itself. What you touch turns to gold, and heavenly works live on. Incalculable is the value of living work in the world. Incalculable is the value of a living artist. Living work gets preserved, and lights hearts on fire. 

Beyond duality, where positive and negative meet, there is rest. Rest in your soul. Be neither active nor non-active. Being, resting, recuperation. You don’t waste energy creating from a state of being. You are connected to the life force and have unlimited creative capacity. 

True knowledge is hidden carefully. Only when you are humble and selfless do you become truth. You cannot own it. You can live it. Be truth. Don’t be a clown and speak about something miraculous through words that are dead. You understand when you empty yourself. When you are selfless, you are life itself.

Life is beyond polarity. Life is perceived. Life is lived. Truth can be perceived through your being in a state of meditation. When you turn within. When the mind looks within and sees itself, and rests there. 

Being, not doing. I AM. Resting. You are the one you are looking for. You are the one you worship. 

As intelligence increases (alignment with life), effort decreases (flow with life): natural, spontaneous, effortless expression of soul.

‘The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls’—‘Sound Of Silence’ by Simon & Garfunkel.

I AM ‘The Road For Artists.’ There’s nothing to prepare. I show up and speak or type. I am what I share. My unbecoming is the road I lay out in these lines. My gift to the world is my journey of healing. I am the gift I give. My healing journey, my salvation, my unbecoming is my unique road. Everyone unbecomes in a different way, through a different lens. Everyone has different corruption and a different identity that melts in the face of God. So everyone uses different words and lays out a seemingly different path. But the destination is the same. 

All true paths end in God. My gift is The Spiritual Path Of Art, which I walk alongside my students. I am but another artist on The Road. That is how teaching feels. There is no intention to teach, the teaching naturally arises out of compassion. Healing happens when the vessel offers a shared space of truth. The individual does not heal. When the individual is no more, healing happens, a sharing of the space of pure being. No one heals or is being healed. Individuality collapses into the unity of life.

An awakened soul that is on the journey of healing has a wider spectrum of experience. They may interact with the projected reality in a balanced way and enjoy the projection. They are not holy or perceived as holy, but are regular human beings with acute self-awareness through which they refine their emotional being. Their inner state is not reactive and thereby completely overpowered by the emotions stored in their body (the past crystallised in the body). Those layers are purged and let go of consciously. Enlightenment, from my perspective, is not a final state but the continuous surrender of all that is not me (inherent in my soul).

A mature soul witnesses unfoldment and surrenders emotional residue, and affirms to the body to let it go. That is spiritual work in action. No magic, no fairytales, no angels or demons. No hallucinations, just a creation of a beautiful inner environment. All curses, hallucinations, and imaginations are but corrupt patterns to be let go of. No magic will unfold, and you won’t become the saviour. Those are corrupt patterns. Selflessness, simplicity and humility are results of true transformation. Such transformation is private work and does not need to be talked about or forced onto anyone. If you truly transform your life will become very simple and balanced. You will not hide from the world or become famous and preach. You will not run away from pain, but see the world and everything that appears before you as your next lesson. 

You might lose yourself to the projected reality and then remember again. Eventually, you see the world sitting in your soul, and constant disillusionment occurs. You learn about creation from within, alone. Your teacher is your soul. You will not see angels or talk to energy clusters. Instead, you have immediate knowledge of you: creation. All else you see is a projection of your mind, and you let those layers go. You live life humbly and share what you are to share in your way with your words, through your art. Your journey is unique to you. 

You will realise that the cup is useful when it’s empty, and that’s where creativity comes from. When the cup is full, the creative potential is masked by thoughts and emotions. 

Your body is a representation of your state of being. As you become light, the body becomes light and free of the past.

As long as your life is in havoc and no harmony is established, you are still transmuting gross emotions. Once you live a simple, harmonious life, you refine subtler emotional distortions. Free yourself of the gunk of the past, forgive, purge, let go and free your destiny and your soul’s work. You will discover your soul’s work (you simply wake to it/ find yourself there) along your journey of healing, and your greatest joy will be to share yourself authentically with the world, as your soul, not as your shadow (as your authentic soul-expression). You will see that most of your desires and dreams were fueled by your shadow and were not yours. Your desires change, and you assume naturally the position of highest value for humanity through your vessel and do your work in flow for the world.
