What Are the Levels of Teaching?

Level 3 - Lifelong Relationships

The third level of teaching occurs in relationships which, once they are formed, they are lifelong.

These are teaching-learning situations in which each person is given a chosen learning partner who presents him with unlimited opportunities for learning.

These relationships are generally few because their existence implies that those involved have reached a stage simultaneously in which the teaching-learning balance is actually perfect. This does not mean that they necessarily recognize this; in fact, they generally do not.

They may even be quite hostile to each other for some time, and perhaps for life.

Yet should they decide to learn it, the perfect lesson is before them and can be learned. And if they decide to learn that lesson, they become the saviors of the teachers who falter and may even seem to fail. No teacher of God can fail to find the Help he needs.
