They have said:\n\n> \"The lips of the Teacher are sealed to all but the Student whose ears are open to  _Listen_.\"\n\nWho is the Teacher?\n\nHere is a wiser question, dear Seeker:\n\n_What_ is the Teacher?\n\nAnd for that matter, whom or what is the Student?\n\nThe Teacher is unbound by form. It can appear in any form, in any moment — but  _only_ when the Student is present and ready to receive the Teaching.\n\nAnd the Student, dear Seeker...\n\n... is you.\n\nOr, it  _can_ be you. But you must be open to the Teaching.\n\n### How does one open? How does one ready oneself, be present, and receive the Teaching?\n\nThis takes  _practice_. You must practice. You must become  _receptive_.\n\n**You must realize that you know _nothing_.** You must begin again in every moment. You must let go of your notions of what you think you already know.\n\nIn that moment, when you are truly resolved in knowing that you know nothing of the secrets of this world, only then shall the Teacher appear.\n\nAnd perhaps you are reading these words now because, deep in your being... you are ready.\n\nAre you ready, dear Seeker...?\n\nOnly you know.\n\n### _This is the Great Lesson of Ages:_ for the Soul to know when it is ready to learn the Truth.\n\nThe Truth is infinite and encompasses all. It contains, and is, and is of, All That Is. All of Existence is held within the Truth, and is the Truth.\n\nIn the Truth there is  _paradox_. The Student must be willing to embrace All, even when  _this_ and  _that_ are completely polarized.\n\nThis polarization is merely apparent. No part of All That Is, is polarized in Truth, for all things exist as the One.\n\nWhat appear to be two polarized aspects are, in Truth, two expressions of  _one aspect_. And this one aspect, in turn, has its apparent polar opposite.\n\nAnd so on and so forth, all polarities are infinitely unified in the One Truth.\n\n### _This is the Great Work, dear Seeker:_ the reconciliation and unification of apparent opposites.\n\nIf you truly are a Student of the Teacher, you must be willing and able to  _reconcile the polarities within yourself._ You must bring peace to all conflicts within you.\n\nOnly then will all conflicts in your world subside and dissolve into the infinite Peace of the One, Whole, Truth.\n\n> As Within, so Without.\n> As Above, so Below.\n\nThe lips of the Teacher open to the Student whose ears are ready to receive the Teaching.\n\nFor one who is not a true Student, these shall be merely words, words, words...\n\n_Your teacher,\nDevin_\n\n* * *\n\n _These teachings are founded on many years of direct, personal experience, and are solely the perspective of your teacher. The only way to truly know anything is to experience it for yourself. Practice discernment on your journey of spiritual discovery, gain true knowledge through your own experience, and find your own truth._\n\n* * *\n\nIf you found this teaching to be beneficial for you and would like to support this school by giving a donation, you may do so using this button:\n\nOffer A Donation",
