Water as Teacher



Water attaches to nothing. Water flows over and through all
things, without worry it will become unlike itself. Water is
without intention. Water is without judgement and
resistance. Therefore, water is the perfect teacher for the
physical realm, where judgement and resistance keeps us from
going with the flow.

Water has only one function: to Be only what it is, without
resistance. Not to cleanse, for water does not judge
anything in need of cleansing. Water has no Master to teach
it more than what is already perfect allowing.

Water can fit all containers and become more solid form. Water
judges not it's container. It is only because water is perfectly
willing to be what It Is, that it could in fact shape shift
without resistance.

Water makes sound only when meeting matter. Water makes
taste and smell only when meeting matter. Water makes sight
only when meeting matter. Water makes texture only when
meeting matter. It is matter defining water for matter.

Water never dams because it senses danger or a need to dam.
It dams when physical matter has an idea. Water does not get
angry at ideas. It obeys, for it is water. Water has no
concern with what you will make of it. It simply obeys the
thought that molds, for it is water and perfectly allows for
all ideas. It does so without fear that your idea will make
it unsavory or unsafe. It does so without guilt that it
appears in a form unpleasing to some. It does so without
anger that it's living properties are polluted. Water is
without consciousness. Water is always what matter wants it
to be. If water is poison then water was poisoned. When
water is beneficial, it is because it was thought to be so.

Water will find itself in a crevice and naturally fill it
without seeing it in need of filling. Water will find
itself at the edge of a mountain top and naturally spill
over it, without seeing it in need of spilling. Water rushes
and winds, and water will sometimes be still, without
concern that it is still too long. Water obeys the natural
and the unnatural landscape, for it knows not how to resist
that which is. Water does not determine what is real and
what is not, then make plans based on it's conclusions.
Water sees no this and that and decides for one or the other.

It is not what water does that teaches. It is what water IS
that makes Water a Teacher.
