My favourite teacher is No Teacher

[ilona]

I say, teach what you want and lern whatever attracts you, but nothing will change until you look inside. Until one day you decide, that it's enough of learning, time to get serious and see for myself. That's how you find an inner teacher.
That teacher is life itself.

So you go, you follow what's next with open mind and heart. This is the real deal. This is not some teaching about life. This is life, here now. Whatever way you call it.

There is no way to get there cause you are there already, only there is no you.
There is only experience.
And then you need no books, no teachers.

Ahh a old fave of mine. Terrace lived just down the road from me on the big island(Hawaii). A brilliant guy I loved him very much.
He loved plants and flowers and nature not that you would know this from the way he talks. He's a trip in many ways.

I have ton's of his writings if anyone wishes however he is quite the intellectual when he writes.

Hi Ilona

Welcome everything you wrote is true. However pointers like no way to get there because you are there already etc are not much help. I found these pointers almost useless in my own journey.

The inner teacher, true guru is you covered by lots of imagination.

The best pointer that has been around even before non duality comes from the Bible.

Be still and know I am God.
You can say this to yourself it tells you all you ever need to know.

I do agree that at least for myself there came a time to throw all the books, teachings away and just be still and quiet and see what is there.

Peace
Michael

From my library
A great lecture from the late Terence McKenna talking about how the current world, under the "dominator culture", and how if we don't radically change right this moment, we will be doomed. He of course goes into the use of psychedelic mushrooms to brings us back to the earth.

Much talk of psychedelics, Gaian Theory, 2012, & the I Ching. Also a pretty interested Q&A session towards the end.
Enjoy

I have listened to 'The Oversoul As Saucer' piece 3 times today ~ once before it was posted.

I sincerely hope that all that you post michael, holds your interest with a similar fascination and versatility of mind.

Careful Shiva ~ your Michael mask slipped for a moment.

I came looking for No Teacher,
And found I have no student.

Loosely paraphrasing something.

[sharon]

The student is the I that 'came looking' ...
