<center>'''Who Are God's Teachers?'''</center>
A teacher of God is anyone who chooses to be one. His qualifications
consist solely in this; somehow, somewhere he has made a deliberate choice
in which he did not see his interests as apart from someone else's. Once he
has done that, his road is established and his direction is sure. A light has
entered the darkness. It may be a single light, but that is enough. He has
entered an agreement with God even if he does not yet believe in Him. He
has become a bringer of salvation. He has become a teacher of God.
They come from all over the world. They come from all religions and from
no religion. They are the ones who have answered. The Call is universal. It
goes on all the time everywhere. It calls for teachers to speak for It and
redeem the world. Many hear It, but few will answer. Yet it is all a matter of
time. Everyone will answer in the end, but the end can be a long, long way
off. It is because of this that the plan of the teachers was established. Their
function is to save time. Each one begins as a single light, but with the Call
at its center it is a light that cannot be limited. And each one saves a
thousand years of time as the world judges it. To the Call Itself time has no
meaning.
There is a course for every teacher of God. The form of the course varies
greatly. So do the particular teaching aids involved. But the content of the
course never changes. Its central theme is always, "God's Son is guiltless,
and in his innocence is his salvation." It can be taught by actions or
thoughts; in words or soundlessly; in any language or in no language; in any
place or time or manner. It does not matter who the teacher was before he
heard the Call. He has become a savior by his answering. He has seen
someone else as himself. He has therefore found his own salvation and the
salvation of the world. In his rebirth is the world reborn.
This is a manual for a special curriculum, intended for teachers of a special
form of the universal course. There are many thousands of other forms, all
with the same outcome. They merely save time. Yet it is time alone that
winds on wearily, and the world is very tired now. It is old and worn and
without hope. There was never a question of outcome, for what can change
the Will of God? But time, with its illusions of change and death, wears out
the world and all things in it. Yet time has an ending, and it is this that the
teachers of God are appointed to bring about. For time is in their hands.
