Teaching Does Not Produce Learning

A teacher sits

Before a collection of students.

 

The teacher speaks words

And the student attempts to learn the words.

 

This is what has been happening

In this world

Since the beginning of time.

 

This is what occurs in the world

Today.

 

This is the concept

And the structure

That is believed

To produce Learning

Within a human.

 

Like all untruths

It appears logical.

 

If only it were True.

 

The human

Is not a vessel

To be filled.

 

And even if he were

He could not be filled

With such an approach.

 

Such a concept

And structure

Does not create Learning.

 

It creates

Parroting

And dependency.

 

As the evidence

All around the world

Has shown.

 

The concept

And the structure

That humans have been conditioned to believe . . .

 

The concept

And the structure

That humans have subscribed to

With every cell in their body . . .

 

Is this:

“Tell me what to do”

“Tell me what to practice”

“Give me the method”

 

The teachers

And the students

And every human alive . . .

Believes that what stands between

Him and his goal

Is a method that he has not yet learned.

 

What is happening

All around the world?

 

Everyone is following methods

And teachings . . .

Yet no one is getting anywhere.

 

No one Ever

Gets anywhere.

 

This means

One of two things:

Either the hundreds and thousands of methods

Are wrong.

Or . . .

The concept of teaching

Is flawed.

 

The only thing that Works

Is the only thing there IS . . .

 

And that is . . .

The Truth.

 

Namaste.
