Description: Spiritual teachers have no special knowledge, since teachers and students move together to express and renew the teaching. It is through these meetings and gatherings, as Rupert suggests, that the teachings or expressions of the teachings change constantly. With that, teachers are not special from students since "it is 'we' as a group of friends who draw the teaching out of infinite consciousness." Rupert shares an analogy of infinite consciousness as an ocean, and each question is a bucket that dips into the ocean. The water is uniquely tailored to the shape of the bucket, but the water that comes out is perfectly matched to it. He finally goes on to saying how his students, or friends, express their gratitude to him, but they don't know how grateful he is to them. He mentions that his calm temperament is a veneer of his English conditioning while his heart is completely on fire. This clip was taken from the 7 Day In-Person Retreat at the Mercy Center: The Silence Which Beckons Us Into Ourself, which took place from October 23 - 31, 2021.
