Great teaching

Great Teaching calls out to all energies in all entities.
But who can hear this call?
It has to be one who is open enough, by accident or by design, to listening.
The listener is called a student.
To hear the Great Teaching requires greatness from the student.
Even a hint of listening is a hint of greatness and can be, and must be, built on.
The calibre of the student is indicated by how insistent the student allows the call to be.
"Allows" is an operative word and shows the control the far-reaching, self-important mind likes to extend over its environment within and ultimately without and back to within, the endless cycle of selfishness.
If by some grace an accidental listening is powerful enough, or the student is somehow prepared, then this selfish bubble, or ring of selfishness, is burst and the teaching can flood in.
In either case the energy released echoes a universal memory or yearning in the student for the connectedness of the Universal Principle.
The connectedness between student and teacher often speaks of "past" connectedness, and "future" connectedness through joint mastery, both of which indicate the futility of the concept of time.
This is a first and most important step away from the world of concepts.
