When simply getting by is the absolute best many will ever hope to aspire to, it takes something quite out of the ordinary to develop a new way of interactively conversing with people so anyone and everyone you're speaking and listening with gets direct access to their own power. Not direct access to their own power over time. Not direct access to their own power with practice. No, direct access to their own power immediately.
And the thing is you can't just go to the local library and look this stuff up. You can't just take out the manual and read up on how to. You can't google it on the internet. You have to make it up yourself. You have to call it up out of your own experience of who you really are. And that's only the start of it. Then you have to earn credibility with people who, by our very nature, are jaded and skeptical of any and all of this sort of thing, who are afraid of being conned. You have to enroll people into the possibility of their own lives. Oh, and there's one more small thing: when you've done all that, you can't take any credit for any of it - you have to leave people with all the credit for empowering themselves.
It's a function of being around you that people get clear about their own greatness. This, by the way, is no longer a debate. This is no longer subject to a referendum. The polls are closed. The results are in. Thirty nine years later it's now fait accompli it's a function of being around you that people get clear about their own greatness. All throughout my own adventures I've noticed around other great teachers, people get clear about that teachers' greatness - as they should. Around you, secondarily people also get clear about your greatness. Yes, to be sure they do. But only secondarily. Primarily around you people get clear about their own greatness and power.
