A teacher of God is anyone who chooses to be one. His qualifications consist solely in this; somehow, somewhere he has made a deliberate choice in which he did not see his interests as apart from someone else’s. Once he has done that, his road is established and his direction is sure. A light has entered the darkness. It may be a single light, but that is enough. He has entered an agreement with God even if he does not yet believe in Him. He has become a bringer of salvation. He has become a teacher of God.
There is a course for every teacher of God. The form of the course varies greatly. So do the particular teaching aids involved. But the content of the course never changes. Its central theme is always, “God’s Son is guiltless, and in his innocence is his salvation.” It can be taught by actions or thoughts; in words or soundlessly; in any language or in no language; in any place or time or manner. It does not matter who the teacher was before he heard the Call. He has become a savior by his answering. He has seen someone else as himself. He has therefore found his own salvation and the salvation of the world. In his rebirth is the world reborn. (A Course in Miracles, M-1.1;3)
Our true Self, the one Son of God, is the Self we share with every brother. It unites us in the oneness of Love. This is our Reality and our birthright. We can never lose this Love because it is God’s Will that It be ours, forever and ever.
Our only meaningful purpose in the world is to awaken to the Love we are. As we awaken to this Love, we see It reflected back to us from our brothers. We respond to our brothers from this place of Love, either by joining with the Love he is or answering his call for Love with Love. With this practice, we serve as teachers of God.
In every moment of every day we have the opportunity to be God’s teacher by letting Love guide our thoughts, words and actions. With this practice we bring Light to the darkness in the world and help to dispel the guilt and fear in our brothers and ourselves.
