Inner Teacher

Inner Teacher

We were taught many things
and we believed from the start..
A cultural dogma we inherited..
A truth assumed obvious 
for all of those years..
Seeming never to have attended to 
our inner teacher..
This teacher avoids books and Google
allowing experience to grip in clarity..
In lesson #1 
we find the perennial error: 
of mind and matter separated
as our years expected..
Other lessons follow with
Teacher-realization
Self-realization..
Education's new beginning...
