Comments on: Not a teacher? http://absentofi.org/2008/06/not-a-teacher/ An exploration into the mystery of existence Wed, 03 Dec 2008 03:02:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: moe http://absentofi.org/2008/06/not-a-teacher/#comment-2606 moe Sun, 15 Jun 2008 04:09:50 +0000 http://www.absentofi.org/?p=3892#comment-2606 Thanks! Yes, it is true that this is meant more as a journal, a way to record and clarify a few things for myself. (Although it is always good when somebody says "hey stupid: don't you see..."!) I meant "teacher" more in the sense that we all go into teacher roles for each other, in different ways. Sometimes, there may be pointers in what somebody says that we explore for ourselves. Other times, what we say or do feels wrong for somebody else, so they get to explore what is more true for them. Or we serve as projection objects for each other, getting familiar with something first in someone else, and then in ourselves - if we are open for it. There are many ways we are teachers for each other. Thanks!

To me your writings seem more like a diary of your thoughts, written for yourself. Though I read thoughtfully I take your words as 'true' by default, so in that way you are serving as a teacher to me, or at least as someone further along in the journey and working harder at it. Any way. Keep it up. Interesting that you would say writing this blog puts you in a teacher role. To me your writings seem more like a diary of your thoughts, written for yourself.
