You Were My Greatest Example, My Inspiration

Unread post by David McCarthy »

I remember an incident at RSE that to this day still saddens me, it was the bullying and humiliation of a child.
The situation 'circa RSE 1994-? it was announced there was a thief in the school and to keep our cars locked!
We were horrified! how this could even happen at RSE, Why didn't the all seeing, all powerful Ramtha stop this thief?
A few day later we were called out to the main field by 'Ramtha'.
Over a thousand of us were ordered to form a large circle around 'Ramtha', next to 'her' stood a young girl no older than 11 years old, I remember this because she could been my daughter back in NZ. 'Ramtha' in a very angry and threatening voice pointed at this child while shouting "This Is 'The Thief" that has been stealing from you all. The young girl stood with her head bowed crying until she was led away by the 'Red Gaurd'.
As I walked back to the hall I felt deeply ashamed I did not stop the bullying and humiliation of a child.
It was another wake-up call that something was terribly wrong with 'Ramtha' and the 'enlightenment' taught at RSE.
This morning I came across a story titled 'You Were My Greatest Example, My Inspiration,
that exemplifies how a truly 'enlightened teacher' would have handled the situation with this child.
If there is any shame to be placed on that awful day at RSE, and I'm sure you remember this JZ Knight, its upon you and you alone. :sad:

You Were My Greatest Example, My Inspiration
"An old man meets a young man who asks: “Do you remember me?”
And the old man says no. Then the young man tells him he was his student, and the teacher asks: “What do you do, what do you do in life?”
The young man answers:
“Well, I became a teacher.”
“Ah, how good, like me?” Asks the old man.
“Well, yes. In fact, I became a teacher because you inspired me to be like you.”
The old man, curious, asks the young man at what time he decided to become a teacher. And the young man tells him the following story: “One day, a friend of mine, also a student, came in with a nice new watch, and I decided I wanted it. I stole it, I took it out of his pocket.
Shortly after, my friend noticed his watch was missing and immediately complained to our teacher, who was you.
Then you addressed the class saying, ‘This student's watch was stolen during classes today. Whoever stole it, please return it.’ I didn't give it back because I didn't want to.
You closed the door and told us all to stand up and form a circle. You were going to search our pockets one by one until the watch was found.
However, you told us to close our eyes, because you would only look for his watch if we all had our eyes closed.
We did as instructed.
You went from pocket to pocket, and when you went through my pocket, you found the watch and took it. You kept searching everyone's pockets, and when you were done you said ‘open your eyes. We have the watch.’
You didn't tell on me and you never mentioned the episode. You never said who stole the watch either. That day you saved my dignity forever. It was the most shameful day of my life.
But this is also the day I decided not to become a thief, a bad person, etc. You never said anything, nor did you even scold me or take me aside to give me a moral lesson.
I received your message clearly.
Thanks to you, I understood what a real educator needs to do. Do you remember this episode, professor?
The old professor answered, ‘Yes, I remember the situation with the stolen watch, which I was looking for in everyone’s pocket. I didn't remember you, because I also closed my eyes while looking.’
This is the essence of teaching:
"If to correct you must humiliate,
you don't know how to teach."
