Any teaching presence I offer to another must allow for the unique way the teaching will resonate, nurture, and enliven the student.

Though spiritual teachings say one cannot mature and grow without help, help from others, help from the spiritual realm, help from Jesus Christ, I see my defiance against asking for and taking in help.

When I looked at the questions on the questionnaire, my heart sank. I felt despair. I realized I would never really be a Pathwork helper.

I could feel the armor of my mental arsenal, defending me against life experiences. I am taking strong cognitive skills and turning them into defenses.

I became a good student, graduating first in our mechanical engineering class. … I worked as an engineer. Oops. An engineer I was not!

And I could put myself into that picture from my past and see how great and relaxed retirement could have been. If only.

I was safely in my head, doing what my head likes to do: record, organize, interpret, and, when possible, come up with “helpful” insights.
