The Teaching

Bruce Du Ve

January 2006

"I love the way the teaching reveals itself.  The next page is absolutely un-guessable.  I can sense something of your dilemma in encapsulating it into a transmittable form.  If it is of any value to you in obtaining some perspective into what you do from the receiving end, I’ll try to express how it comes across to me.  For me, you personally are not really doing the teaching.  More so, than in anyone else I have ever encountered, the teaching is doing YOU.  No matter how hard you try to control it, shape it or structure it, it happens, perfectly regardless of the circumstances.  While some of your basic philosophy is clearly and concisely structured, every course is unique.  The philosophy grows and changes, the people are different, the time duration is different, locations vary, circumstances vary, and your energy varies.  However, the teaching is consistent.  It is always new, fresh, totally unexpected and far beyond the bounds of predictability.  The real teaching is in the realizations, the revelations that occur in the hearts of your students and in yours too.  You do not control that.  However, you very effectively open the door for Grace to come into and be active in the lives you touch, and also in your own."
