The difference between 'guiding' and 'teaching'

[native]

These are interesting assumptions. Or, projections? Because, in my entire life, I've never been this happy. And you wouldn't believe how many times a day I still go "whatever" or decide to "bite my tongue" and have a good laugh about it.

Glad to hear it

People only ever talk about themselves and about you or self as a whole basically.

Yep, it's the only thing that's ever going on. You become quite conscious of how participating in judgmental statements as a group, such as talking about someone while they're not around, supports and perpetuates a separative mindset. So we have a responsibility to be mindful with our words, especially when the judgments are recognized traits within yourself..which would not be teaching what you're learning. That's buddhism 101, but it can be difficult in a workplace situation for example.

"Therefore, those of the first type, those who seek to serve and are willing to be trained in thought, word, and action are those who will be able to comfortably maintain the distortion towards service in the area of healing."
