Thought Adjuster: “The [[problem]] of many ‘[[teachers]]’ of the [[Truth]] in these times is that they invest too much in promoting their own image, their [[public]] person, instead of [[focusing]] more on their message. Many teachers make a job of the task of spreading the Truth, considering it something that needs to generate a [[profit]] to be able to sustain itself, and there is where they fail.
“While it is [[necessary]] that every person manages to obtain a job to make a living, the [[orientation]] for spiritual [[achievements]] must not be conditioned by material and [[selfish]] [[motivations]]. It is [[absurd]] to pretend that the achievement of [[spiritual progress]] should be limited by one having access to some [[book]], or by the cost of a ticket to a [[seminary]]. The constant seeking of a material profit has made the way to [[spirituality]] too difficult for many, and has [[compromised]] the integrity of the message that teachers, maybe with good [[intentions]], tried to promote at the beginning. This is why many immediately despise any attempt to be added to a new group of truth [[seekers]] because of the [[fear]] – often well founded – that spiritual teachers simply seek their own material benefit, instead of [[honestly]] helping others.
“The example of [[Michael]] of [[Nebadon]] during [[Part 4|His life on earth]] is an illustration of a true human teacher who lived an authentic spiritual [[experience]]. During his early human life – before [[Paper 136|His baptism]] – the son of man dedicated himself to do [[good]], to live the Will of His Father in Heaven, while working happily to earn a living and provide for His [[family]]. He never cared about cultivating his image as a teacher, or a godly man, or a [[wise]] man. He simply offered the best of Himself to those around Him, and thus won a multitude of [[souls]] to [[eternal life]].
“The spiritual [[enlightenment]] that many have [[received]] in their lives is the result of the inward focus and efforts of the personal [[Thought Adjuster]] to create a true spiritual [[experience]] in the life of His charge. This is a gift from the Father for His children, and [[the Father]] rejoices when [[His children]] [[share]] it with their [[siblings]], [[attracting]] more [[souls]] back into the family of the true children of God. This is a [[service]] that [[human beings]] can offer to their [[Creator]] and to their brothers and sisters in the flesh, but this is not a service that implies material profits. If the Father offers the most valuable gift of [[the universe]] without any cost added, how can man pretend to obtain a material profit for something he has freely received?
“Another aspect that should not to be forgotten is that the higher the teacher places himself above his [[students]], the more difficult it will be to follow His example. [[Michael]] was indeed the man nearest to divine [[perfection]] who has lived on this earth, but He did not find it [[strange]] to think of Himself as one more among men. He was not the teacher who taught from the top of a [[mountain]]. Rather He was the tireless [[companion]] who walked the same [[path]] of [[faith]] and [[hope]] as His fellow men, [[inspiring]] with His example and [[Grace]].”
