How do I find a “Good Teacher”?
Earlier today I was preparing a post for another blogging site called Hummingbird Shaman. This posting is part of a three-part series about an encounter between two hummingbirds and a spirit-in-body living in Israel.
In their posting they asked me if this was a sign. “Am I supposed to be a healer?” and “Am I supposed to work with aromatherapy?”. I’ve responded to their query, with will be posted over the next few days, but in a sense I did not answer their question. I teeter on doing what I understand to be the right thing as a teacher, and giving insights and spiritual messages as a clairvoyant reader and counselor. I feel those two little images, the angel and the devil, sitting on my shoulders, you know, the ones that are typically represent our good side and our bad side. For me, in this instance, they are the “giver” and the “gifted”. Let me try to explain this a little more clearly.
Here I was, faced with a wonderful, simple question that I cannot answer. Why? Because it is not my role to tell anyone the path to take. I can tell you that there is a path, but I cannot give you a map, for your map is custom-designed, just for you. I do not have your map. I can teach you methods, and they are wonderful methods, but I cannot use them for you. I can give you tools, but you must chose whether or not to utilize them. It is for you to decide how you will use them at any given moment. That decision point, the fork in the road, comes often. I cannot tell you which direction to turn in the road, but I can help you to see and understand those obstacles and distraction along with way. I can rejoice with you those glorious discoveries you have made so they shine brighter in their place of honor. Then you can remember them with even greater clarity, and use them, if you chose, as a stepping stone along your path. Whether you walk along your path alone or with others, this is your journey, you are not hitching a ride on someone else’s wagon.
Let’s stop at this point, but this topic will be continued. See part two - “It’s in the Question, not the Answer”.
