Certain pupils have been assigned to each of God’s teachers, and they will begin to look for him as soon as he has answered the Call. They were chosen for him because the form of the universal curriculum that he will teach is best for them in view of their level of understanding. His pupils have been waiting for him, for his coming is certain. Again, it is only a matter of time. Once he has chosen to fulfill his role, they are ready to fulfill theirs. Time waits on his choice, but not on whom he will serve. When he is ready to learn, the opportunities to teach will be provided for him.
Further, the plan for this correction was established and completed simultaneously, for the Will of God is entirely apart from time. So is all reality, being of Him. The instant the idea of separation entered the mind of God’s Son, in that same instant was God’s Answer given. (A Course in Miracles, M-2.1;2:4-6)
The world we perceive is a reflection of what we believe we are. Because of this, everyone we meet or even think of has the potential to be our pupil and teacher. We see them as a reflection of the self we believe we are. Do they appear as a loving friend to us? Then we are recognizing attributes of our true Self reflected. Do we judge what we see as separate from us, with conflicting interests? Then we are perceiving what we believe about ourselves. They are offering us an opportunity to forgive this misperception so we can see the true Self in them that is part of the one Self we share with everyone.
We have recognized a pupil God has brought to us for our healing. When we choose to accept the Holy Spirit’s true perception in place of our misperceptions, we are choosing to accept God’s Answer. We become His teacher because we have accepted His lesson.
