A few days ago, I ran into a video recording of my sessions with a consciousness teacher I had worked with several years ago. She had been on the journey far longer than I had and was extremely knowledgeable. I remember back then that her views were quite different from mine at the time and I thought to myself how unique her thought process was. I openly disagreed with her on some topics but a few years later, I contacted her again to share with her that she had been right about the things I disagreed with.
Since then I have delved into others philosophies, visions and teachings for which she now learns from me. As I make efforts to teach others, I see myself in many but also cannot help but chuckle at naivety. I try not to take disagreements personally but I wonder if I would welcome them back with open arms. The answer is, even though I disagreed with my teacher, I did not go out of my way to discredit her towards others, shame her or attack her. I still had my enormous respect for the hard work she had done and she was a hope to me that raising my consciousness was still possible. She was such a simple, honest person who never acts superior to anyone but she did not hesitate to hold her boundaries. If there was anything I regretted, it was not being patient enough to learn from her.
