I’ll go to a city, a school, and give a lecture because I can feel someone there. I inwardly see first their is someone there who is waiting. Where they’ll show up or not, I don’t know. That depneds upon many factors.
I was a traditional teacher for a time, but my students would ride the energy. I wanted to free people not give them a placebo.
Their whole life will begin to shift, from their first physical contact with you.
Sometimes their immediate reaction is to want to run away because they realize inwardly that the transpositions their life will go through will be remarkable, change everything.
A part of them has grown very attached to a certain way of life.
It is the teacher’s job to point out mistakes so that an individual doesn’t continue to hurt themselves or others.
Unfortunately the student often feels guilt for not living the type of life that their Teacher suggested, or they feel that they are intrinsically bad and incapable of leading a higher life.
Often, in the student’s confusion, she or he directs anger at the teacher, blaming them for the pain they are experiencing, or for their own mistakes.
As an incarnation of love you put up with flack until it becomes detrimental to a person.
Some come to a teacher for power. They still have all the desires, angers and jealousies of an unevolved person. Consequently, they become destructive both to themselves and to others.
To simply see a teacher to gain power is a mistake. You’ll gain the power, but with the current mindset that you have you’ll probably create more unhappiness for yourself than happiness.

There is a time you can’t turn it back. When a person is very destructive, when they hate you tremendously, you have to disassociate with them.
Many spiritual teachers have done this. They have disbanded their whole community because everyone got angry. The karma, at a certain point, has to go back to the person; it’s intensified and hurts them spiritually.

We see an enlightened teacher to gain a sense of humor, to learn balance and proportion and of course to learn wisdom.
I no longer teach meditation, only software design.
I consider those persons to be my students who come and meditate with me on a regular basis, who, in spite of the hardships and difficulties on the path of knowledge, still continue to try, and who respect me as I respect them.
You only find your Teacher once in many lifetimes. Never be afraid to see them and meditate with them. Your Teacher always understands and always forgives.
As a dialectical teacher, I have had many lives where I have taught Zen and Tibetan Buddhism and mysticism. I teach in many different modalites. But the theme that unites them – is love.
