Teachers
A teacher is not just someone who imparts information—books, robots, and computers can do that. A true teacher is a bridge between the child and the human experience. Until around the age of seven, a child is supersensitive, feeling more than thinking, and absorbing every human energy they come into contact with. A stressed or unhappy teacher will unconsciously pass these feelings on to their students, who will accept them as their own.
Children do not feel in the same way adults do. Adults have learned to use their physical senses, often cutting themselves off from their soul and spirit senses. Children, however, are still deeply connected to their soul and spirit, and their emotional experiences are shaped by this connection. Over time, children gradually replace their spiritual awareness with physical awareness, but until that process is complete, they absorb the feelings and energies around them.
The bond between teachers and students is special because teachers play a crucial role in socializing children. A teacher who embodies stress, unhappiness, or emotional immaturity will influence their students’ expectations of life. To build a better future, we need service-to-others teachers—individuals who are emotionally mature, mentally competent, and aligned with the values of care and cooperation.
Unfortunately, many of today’s politicians funnel resources away from education, prioritizing wealth for the rich over the needs of teachers and students. Some parents, lacking awareness, contribute to undermining public education by pushing for curricula that suppress free thought and rewrite history.
The state of education today is a reflection of the world of tomorrow. The division between service-to-self and service-to-others beings is growing. Eventually, these two groups will no longer occupy the same reality. Service-to-others beings will incarnate into worlds where education and the development of both young and old are the central focus of society. In contrast, service-to-self beings will experience a reality separate from this evolving stream. This separation may take time, but the future of education and human evolution is already taking shape.
