open mindedness

The centrality of open-mindedness, perhaps the last of the attributes the teacher of God requires, is easily understood when its relation to forgiveness is recognized. Open-mindedness comes with lack of judgement. As judgement shuts the mind against God's Teacher, so open-mindedness invites him to come in. As condemnation judges the Son of God as evil, so open-mindedness permits him to be judged by the Voice for God on his behalf. As the projection of guilt upon him would send him to hell, so open-mindedness lets Christ's image be extended to him. Only the open-minded can be at peace, for they alone see reason for it.

I'm all for open mindedness... but why does God need a teacher?

*cough*copy&paste*cough*

Open mindedness isn't about god or teachers. But it is about Freeing our selves of stereotypes and judgements, these preconcieved notions. To see past the flesh and bone the false and the week to learn from within and all around us. Many people are lead even more astray by religion and teachers and if thier is a god he has no teacher for he would be the beginner of all thought in which would be taught. But alas the brunt of humanity will never know such wisdom
