The Professors' Teacher
New Book
Forward:
Let's talk about what it is to be enlightened! (The action or state of attaining or having attained spiritual knowledge or insight, in particular (in Buddhism) that awareness which frees a person from the cycle of rebirth.
"the key to enlightenment is the way of the Buddha").
2.
(a European intellectual movement of the late 17th and 18th centuries emphasizing reason and individualism rather than tradition. It was heavily influenced by 17th-century philosophers such as Descartes, Locke, and Newton, and its prominent exponents include Kant, Goethe, Voltaire, Rousseau, and Adam Smith.)
I was gifted as a reader and writer. When I got my B. A. in Systematic Theology, I read a lot of A W. Tozer, R. C. Sproul, John Calvin, St. Augustine, Athanasius, John Hoenburger, Martin Luther, Dr. Robert Stanley, Butler, Augustus, C.S. Lewis and many more! Now the 5 gifts are: Apostle, Evangelist, Prophesie, Teachers, and Preachers. I was called to teach with a B. A. in Systematic Theology, an Associate's in Apologetics, and an Associates in Accounting, with a one year certificate in Seminary!
I think the best book I've read so far is " City of God", by St. Augustine. It was very interesting, to say the least!
But to be enlightened, it takes a lot of study, prayer, reading, meditation, listening, and thinking! And one must be in sync with the Spiritual World! One day you're reading along in your Bible and, bam, it all hits you! Everything you read stands out for you. Like you have a built-in Commentary and Concordance and Thesaurus. The most important ingredient is the Holy Spirit. And your thirst for knowledge is overwhelming! You can't get enough.
However, it is not reading, remembering, contemplating, deducing and calculating; it's an instant thing. You don't look for a book to read, you just start speaking volumes. And everything is facts, unexaggerated, explained in detail, and fortified! When you start up you grab an audience and they stay 'till the end. You soon make a lot of young friends, because youg people are inquisitive and want to know without looking it all up! "Let them do the work", they say!
Though you are now on your way to fast-becoming a scholar, you must be cautious in giving direction to, and taking direction from! The reason for this is you are eager to teach, yet fast out of the gate because of your enthusiasm. It is vital that you stay alittle ahead with your thoughts! One thing about being enlightened one moment is the fact that the words of description come fast and steady, but the format of the subject must be met afore, or your words will fall on deaf ears! I have found that in desparation we fall way short of our intended goal. Let the knowledge speak and use you as a host! You can tell the difference once you begin!
At an advantage with facts and color, you captivate your students and hold them in a tight information-gathering circle so as not to let one mind wonder! For some reason, when one wonders, you have several that will follow!
Chapter One
"Intellect"
The properties of subject- matter fall to the "mood" of the crowd. And the mood of the crowd is usually set by what kind of day it is! Sunny-Cherry, Dreary-Drad, Foggy-Fitful! Throw a "life-line", like...
