Is This My Teacher?

I don't think I called anybody my teacher for more than 10 years. And so it took a while to see, oh, I was having greater insights with this person. After repeated repeated repeated retreats, I realized I can't deny it. This person is a teacher for me. It doesn't come because somebody says you are my teacher. But it comes because they show up again and again. The good ones are when teachers are kind of them meditating out loud. That's almost like you get an insight into another minds process of meditation. There is the expectation that everything I say is going to be like lightning from the heavens. Yes.
