"Despair is the necessary prerequisite for the next degree of consciousness......Rather than teaching each other to adapt to what we have, it would be better to honor the despair and allow a person to be in that despair until he comes through it, hopefully coming through it in a more evolved fashion, if he's got support for it...
As far as teachers are concerned, a teacher is wherever you are when you're ready for that teacher. That is, if you hear enough to ask the question, "How am I going to get on with my work?" and you say, "Well, what I ought to do is calm my mind down," then you'd say, "Well, how do I calm my mind down?" Now asking that question sensitizes you to see a lot of beings around you who have been busy calming their minds down, or teaching people how to calm their minds down, that until then you've passed by and never even noticed existed......
And so you begin to find out that your teachers are often people who have been right around you......So you learn to honor everybody you meet as your teacher......So your teacher is everywhere......It depends on your readiness, and that has to do with your karma or your readiness to get on with it...
...And so, a relationship is as high as the highest consciousness, even though it may only be a contact high......I can't do anything to, for, or about you, all I can do is be what I be. Through your interaction with me, you may or may not change, see? And I teach because I teach because I teach..."
