Teaching in honesty

Siddhananda: (Showing a white translucent stone)  Shiny, shiny! (laughing) (pausing with closed eyes) Okay, [they're saying] "I speak a lot about truth, but, I don't know it." (laughing)

G: (laughing) And, how's that working for you and the poor people that are hearing you?

Siddhananda: He has a bit of a following.

G: Aha.

Siddhananda: I can see them around him. He speaks from the intellect about it, but, he doesn't know it.

G: Is he still in body or doing this psychically or is he out of body?

Siddhananda: He's not in body.

G: Okay.

Siddhananda: (pause) However it's transmitted, it could come through others, I don't know how he's working with that.

G: Aha.

Siddhananda: Let me see... Most of that come in do have the ability to connect that way.

G: Right. [They] can continue to effect people on the other side.

Siddhananda: Yeah. Okay, let me see (pause) "I do masquerade. I'm a man of masks and trickeries, and it's not good."

G: Yeah.

Siddhananda: (laughing) At least he's acknowledging it's not good. That's a start.

G: Well, it's good that at least he knows, but, then again, that carries a heavier karmic load.

Siddhananda: Because he knows.

G: If you're a teacher and you know your're full of bullshit, that carries a  heavier load. One hundred percent.

Siddhananda: He's like, "help me, forgive me, help me, i'm sorry."

G: Yeah. Well, you chose to do it. If you're purporting to be a teacher, you should know that. This is not something you take up lightly, being a teacher, because you're more responsible, because you're saying you know. If you're saying you know, then you have a heavier responsibility.

Siddhananda: Sure.

G: One hundred percent, yes.

Siddhananda: i'm asking him if he understands that and is he hearing it.

G: Aha.

Spirit: Oh, yes i do. please please, i'm sorry.

G: Aha.

Spirit: i am sorry if i mislead people, too. They seem to be drawn to me, but, i'm not completed.

G: Yeah, there are a lot of ones that are charismatic. There are ones that are charismatic and people are drawn to them because they got a good personality, but, personality is not it.  So, you need to honest up, and if you're not completed, say you're not completed and give to what you can give, up to the point that you're at. There are always those lower than what you are that you can aid, but, you have to be honest in how far you can take them.

Spirit: Should I speak to them about my masquerading?

G: Absolutely.

Spirit: It's hard.

G: It's going to be hard, of course! It's going to be hard. You got to man up and own up. And give what you can give.

Siddhananda: He's attempting to send out that energy of letting them know that he hasn't been honest and forthright and hasn't really walked the journey to the degree that he's speaking of.

G: Right.

Siddhananda: (pause) I hear him say, "I've wronged you and i'm sorry."

G: Yeah.

Siddhananda: And they are weeping, some of them.

G: Yeah. So, all you can do at this point is ask their forgiveness and give what you can give, to the point were you're at, (pause) Okay, and be honest with what you can give and what you can't give.

Siddhananda: (pause) He would like to walk the path of light in the correct way now, if you would have him do that.

G: Absolutely. There needs to be more teachers, but, you need to be honest in what you can give and what you can't.

Siddhananda: (pause) Should he let go of teaching now?

G: (long pause) He can continue to give what he can give, but, just be, from this point, absolutely point blank honest. So, he can go ahead and do the "Om that I am" the "i am that i am" and "what is this I" contemplation.

Siddhananda: (pause) He's taking that and just clasping his heart with it.

G: Aha.

Siddhananda: And he will continue to ask for forgiveness from the universe as well as walk the right way and if he can come back to help or however is needed.

G: Yeah, when he's done those practices and he's ready for the next step, come back.

Siddhananda: (hand on heart center) Thank you so much.

G: (hand on heart center) Namaste. Yeah, if you're a teacher, you should know you're accountable for what you give.

Siddhananda: Sure.

G: So, you have to be honest in what you can give and what you can't give.

Siddhananda: Aha.

G: There are a lot of people that are brand new to a path and even if you haven't gone the whole way you can still be a benefit to them, but, you can't tell them I can take you the whole way.

Siddhananda: Yeah.

G: And talk about it intellectually when you don't know.

Siddhananda: Yeah, and also to build up a big following where people are being in their minds they build you up to something.

G: Exactly.

Siddhananda: Way more than what you are. It is not a good thing.

G: It's not a good one, because it creates more ego for you to break through.

Siddhananda: Yeah, exactly.

G: And then that's tough.

Siddhananda: Breaks their heart too.

G: It breaks their heart as well, yeah.

Siddhananda: Yeah.

G: Because, they have set you up on a pedestal that you shouldn't be on.

Siddhananda: Correct, yeah.

G: Yeah.

Siddhananda: So, that's good that one came out and he just came out of it. He was just ready (laughing)

G: Well, i'm glad he came back and he confessed that, but, yeah, he needs to confess it to the people he's working with and be honest with them and then again, give what you can give, but, be honest with where you're at.

Siddhananda: Absolutely.

G: Yeah.
