Many people simply go through the motions, going from one workshop to the next because they do not sustain their own development and repeatedly need the group boost. This is not a particularly productive course of action. There are other reasons for auditing a course, such as one that contains a great deal of information, particularly multi-dimensional information, since auditing it can allow deeper layers of meaning to be revealed. Another reason is to become more familiar with that class environment if the person auditing is a teacher-in-training. As to what you should study, your best guidance for that will come from your own clear intuition. If you have not developed your intuition to where it speaks clearly enough, that is a good place to start learning. Given your interest in Sacred Geometry, I suggest you have a look at Crystalline Consciousness Technique, which does use sacred geometry and is strongly focussed on each practitioner having their own connection to CCT. The site is www.crystallineconsciousness.com. It also would have provided a tool for you that could have eased the difficult class environment you describe in another post since it is particularly effective for group work. I have enjoyed looking at your artwork as I am artist myself. Have a great journey on your learning adventures!

I usually taught in small groups - ranging from about 10-15 people for development classes up to around 30 for workshop classes. I taught without a break every week for 7 years - and then took a week off :). Many of the people that I taught went on to teach. My fees were minimal - sometimes $5 a class - even at times free. One thing that I noticed is that when a teacher teaches for free, the student doesn't seem to value what is taught - no matter how valuable the material. I guess they believe that they are getting what they pay for and do not realize that the act of teaching is as valuable for the teacher as it is for the student. The process of teaching clears a channel so that the teacher can then reach for new information and thereby expand themselves. In addition, every person who is taught adds light to the world. I have recently been thinking about teaching again - perhaps through an internet venue. My husband and I have a website at http://www.patandjean.com where we have some of the material that we have taught/worked with. I am currently developing a website http://www.spiritcompass.net because I believe that the times we are living in are some of the most dangerous times in history and everyone needs to be able to have "eyes that see" and "ears that hear" My teaching is and has always been teaching so that the one who is learning can "do it themselves." Among other things I teach etheric/astral/mental/soul projection, soul retrieval, distance healing, healing techniques, chakra opening, developing inner sight and hearing. If anyone is interested in talking to me in the physical, please email me at jmmacmanus@gmail.com Hello,
