In pursuit of a teacher!

During childhood we have been taught so many things. Ever since, those teachings become our guiding principles, till such time we are teenagers or in our early 20s. Then comes the phase when we explore life on our own, reading, absorbing...experiencing, as we go along the journey of life. That's when we form our own beliefs, our own guiding principles. We find our own direction. Our own path! Would this be influenced by those learnings from our childhood? Perhaps to some extent, but then maybe not. 

And then one day, certain incidents or situations bring us to a crossroad once again! Now there's the tough part. All those principals and learnings go for a toss! Enter self doubt, confusion, frustration, anger and complication.

That's when one needs a teacher. A guide who is unbiasd. Someone who hasn't been instrmental in moulding us into who we are in the first place. But someone who knows us in a certain way. Almost like our alter-ego stepping out to look at us from the outside just as a stranger would. That would bring new learnings and perspectives, perhaps new principles too. Or just reinforce the same ones, and help YOU choose YOUR direction once again. The teacher could be God, a spiritual leader, or even our own internal voice which would just draw from our inherant strenght to show us the way.

But to gain from this process one requires an open mind, acceptance of the fact that all our past beliefs could be shattered and an openness to accept a new you!!

I am out to find my Teacher! I am out to rediscover myself!

Lots of love....H.
