Teachers
There are many teachers. One could look for a long time without finding the right one. In a state like this someone could go from teacher to teacher, changing for a variety of reasons.
Every teacher has something to give a student. But some have only a little. Even by virtue of the fact that the teacher is older or more experienced than the student, they may know something useful at least.
Going from teacher to teacher will produce, at the very least, a succession of these lesser relationships, and will at least ensure some progress in learning. I never heard of anyone getting worse! Though for certain some people do not get much better!
However, the right teacher is always available. But sometimes the path that should lead to them is very busy with distractions.
A good teacher knows you and knows what your weaknesses are. Though they may not show it because not all teachers give everything away for free in the first lesson. Sometimes they feel their wisdom is valuable and you have to study for a while before it starts to come through. But how much you learn is not up to the teacher, it is up to you. If the teacher is limited, then what you learn is certainly limited by that. But a true master is not limited.
A teacher is often old. Because wisdom comes with age. Even doing very little for a long time can produce wisdom! Definitely, though, someone who has looked hard for wisdom could well have found a little more of it as more years have passed by.
But your teacher could be any age. There is nothing to say they can't be younger than you! It's the soul that guarantees the result, not the age of the body.
Many people find a good teacher. They might perhaps go to a college to study with someone they admire, and they improve and enjoy it. They look back and say how important it was for them. That's positive! Yet others have not flowered in any significant way, so they feel like they never arrived anywhere...and they don't know where they were going!
The journey of learning is complicated, but only if it has become complicated. Remember how well you learned in the first years of your life. That learning continues all through life, but life takes a long time and it is easy to lose track of what you were doing. The plan of finding your talents and developing them to help everyone goes on, even if it only goes on a little way. I wonder, though, how far it could go?
How much you learn is up to you. The student is the one who listens or chooses not to listen. The teacher is prepared to give everything...to the right person. But the student has to be open to the guidance. The trouble is that many people do not listen and do not realise they have got things wrong. They, of course, do not know they need to be guided.
Yet most people are looking to improve, and they listen to help from outside. I think this is wise.
Finding the right teacher is possible. Then learning from them is possible too. But a guide is only guiding you. They are telling you to hold the map the right way up. That should help!
They are guiding.
But you are the one who has to arrive.
But the right teacher would love to help you as much as you will let them. You may have to ask though. Sometimes.
