Manual for Teachers, WHO ARE THEIR PUPILS, P 1, 9-19-17

2. WHO ARE THEIR PUPILS? P 1
1 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 fulfil his role, they are ready to fulfil 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.

Journal
I teach as all teach, through my life. Those who will be influenced by me will show up. They show up as relationships, husbands, children, siblings, parents, and many other people. Some show up for a specific lesson and others for a lifetime of lessons. Some of these lessons are uplifting and some are challenges, but they are perfect for all involved however they occur.

My story also involves teaching on a more formal level. I have students who study with me, people who come for spiritual counseling, and those who want a mentor. I don’t seek them out. I make myself available. I present at conferences and workshops. I write. I post a lot of what I write. In this way, I let people know I am here. And when they approach me, I make myself available.

When I first began to have students, I was nervous about it. I was afraid I could not do what I was given to do. I was afraid I would fail, or worse, that I would somehow make things worse. But that cannot happen. The students that are for me have been waiting for me to say yes to God and become His teacher. Therefore, they are perfect for me, and I am perfect for them. We help each other and grow together.

As with those who show up to share some part of my life, sometimes they come for a single lesson and sometimes they come to stay awhile. None of that is any of my business. The classrooms occur without my effort or influence. At my best, I simply wait for instructions. And if it seems the relationship takes an unexpected turn, I trust that even that is perfect and contains the lesson we both needed.
