Knock Me Down- Please

Do yourself a favor and knock every teacher you look up to off the pedestal you’ve put them on. Including me. Please.

Look at them at eye level.
Their humanness.
Their flaws.
Their imperfections.
You are a teacher for them.
Yes, that’s right- YOU are a teacher.
Stare through any illusions of “togetherness” they may consciously or unconsciously project.
Drop any grandeur ideas of them.
Remove the rose tinted glasses that make it seem as if they are “better” than you.
Strip away the false layers of identity you have assigned to them.
Burn away the shiny images of who you think they are.
And Notice...
Their fragile heart-the same as yours.
Their sliceable skin-the same as yours.
Their temporary form-the same as yours.
Now! Now, we can see each other.
Now, we can know the Divinity within us all
Now, we can see God.
