The Teaching Evolves, the Understanding Remains

"For those of us who hold the intention of sharing this understanding through our work – holding space for meditation and yoga – what guidance would you give? Would you recommend having a teacher? Rupert says: ‘I recommend having a friend you can share these matters with, discuss, explore. But if you don’t feel inclined, don’t feel you should. If you do, I would strongly recommend a relationship of friendship, not a traditional teacher-student relationship. Regarding sharing this understanding – I encourage everyone to do so, in their own way. At one end of the spectrum, being a quiet light in your community without ever speaking directly about these matters. At the other end, speaking, writing, holding retreats. And in between, a whole spectrum of possibilities. When you begin, it’s natural to use the material from your own learning – the languaging, analogies, ideas. I did exactly this with Francis Lucille. But in time, you make the understanding your own. You find your own language by responding to others’ questions – questions you never asked yourself. That forces you to develop new pathways. The teaching evolves; the understanding doesn’t. My teacher said, “The truth needs to be reformulated by every generation.”’"
