Teaching is Learning is Teaching
- Teacher, learner, there is no difference, for if you teach about learning, you are parroting dead ideas from the past that may never have happened in reality. If you are only a learner, then you are robbing the process of metabolising what is coming to you so that it can come back in new forms that create even more understanding for the supposed other?
- So teach in order to learn, share with you now and be open to what comes back. Share with you now and pay attention to what you are saying and how you are putting together the information in order to communicate it clearly, because if you do, you will learn. You will learn greatly, as a matter of fact, if you are a teacher in this way. You will learn more than you ever would have been able to learn if you had just considered yourself a learner only.
- So learn in order to teach, because if you are learning with no intention to share, you have a distinct ability to put bits of information or stories in compartments that only solidify prior judgments and ideas that you have, thus missing the whole point of what has been brought to you.
- So when you teach, know that you are receiving as much as you're giving and changing as fast as you are bettering, and that the other's growth is your growth, literally. They are giving you a great gift by being open to learn, but the gift is not theirs. The gift is yours.
- And when you learn, you are also giving the same gift to another, but as you metabolize the information and process it, it can become alive.
