Chapter 4: Teacher / Individual Questions
7. How Many Teachers of the Divine Are Needed to Awaken the World?
The answer to this question is “one.” One wholly perfect teacher whose learning is complete suffices. This one, released from all illusions and restored to Holiness, becomes One with the holy Self who is the Child of the Divine. This one, who was always wholly spirit, now no longer sees itself as a body, or even as in a body. Therefore it is limitless. And being limitless, its Thoughts are joined with the Divine’s Thoughts forever and ever. Its perception of itself is based upon the Divine’s Judgment, not its own. Thus does it share the Divine’s Will, and brings Its Thoughts to still sleeping minds. It has joined with Spirit and is fully awakened. It is One with Divine Essence and all Creation because it knows it is as the Divine created it. And all Teachers of the Divine to come follow in the Way it has walked and shared, and with its blessing.
Thus do the Divine’s Teachers remember their Identity: that they are eternal Children of the Divine. It is not really a change, for the Eternal cannot change, but rather is it a transformation of mind. Nothing external alters, but everything internal now reflects only the Love of the Divine. The Divine can no longer be feared, for the mind sees no cause for punishment. And so illusions and dreams have gone.
The Divine’s Teachers appear to be many, for that is the world’s need. Yet being joined in one Purpose, and one they share with the Divine, how could they be separate from each other? What does it matter if they then appear in many forms? Their minds, hearts and will are One, and their joining is complete. And the Divine works through them now as One, for that is what they are.
