"I cannot teach anything to anyone. I can only make them think."
I cannot give knowledge to someone, any more than I can impose it upon them. What I can do is accompany them in the process that will allow them to discover it within themselves. I can invite them to reflect, to question, to journey deep within until, from the inside, a kind of clarity emerges.
What I offer is not knowledge to be taken or repeated, but presence, listening, and dialogue. Like a midwife, I extend my hand not to transmit something of my own, but to help bring forth what is already there, quietly gestating in the mind and heart of the other. It is an ancient method, sometimes called maieutics—Socrates made it the heart of his practice, but it runs through many other traditions as well.
I believe that each person carries within themselves a portion of truth—a deep knowledge that asks to be revealed, not instilled. My role, then, is not to deliver a doctrine or impose a vision, but to open pathways, to ask questions that awaken, to create a space in which the other can hear the resonance of their own voice.
In truth, teaching, for me, is nothing other than the art of accompanying consciousness back to itself.
