Yes I agree the student does learn from the teacher but we have to know WHO the teacher is surely.
Who i am matters not, it's rather who are you that does
know thyself and we will know each other .

Why bother setting yourself up as a fount of wisdom and information?

Everyone is both teacher and student, imo.

Imo if you need to ask the questions you are the student, on the other hand if you answer the questions you are the teacher.
Imo an ascended enlightened master only answers questions and is no longer seeking the path but walks it.

Depending upon a person’s beliefs; Projections can be useful but they can also be un-necessary. What is a projection? From my POV a projection is similar to a reflection, although it may possess more elaborations. The simple one-ness of non-duality has no elaborations. It speaks for itself.

Projections, like reflections, are a form of nonverbal communication. The entire creation is communicating with itself, but it seems human beings are generally out of whack on this. Regardless, everything is useful; everything is as crumbs leading us towards the great meal.

Some are in deeper then others and they may have layers and layers of letting go, while for others all they may have to do is let go. Probably for most letting go is a continual process. I do not expect for others to have the same journey of self discovery which I have had. We all have our own methods and our own unique conscious journey towards non-duality.

Re Starman

Thank you Starman for your comments which, as usual, I agree with. I particularly like your comments on “letting go” in the last paragraph.

I feel that when some people say “just let go” that’s really an over simplification and meaningless to a lot of people. Yes on the one hand it is true and on the other hand it’s impossible for many of us. But as Starman states, the letting go is a slow process for some of us, but IMO for the majority of us. So I guess telling people to just let go is fruitless.

You state: Who I am matters not, it’s rather who are you.

Ascension: Well you asked for questions from us, so I feel it really DOES matter who you are.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru
