Dark Teacher
In the school of universe there are many kinds of teachers. The moon, the sun, the plants, the frogs and many more. Each one has to be treated with respect and students should approach them properly in a balanced way. Never attending to classes for no reason at all. Never overusing information or any kind of distorting, egotism, or spreading lies.
Students are students for a reason, and only when they are called to the Principal, is when they can start switching to a different role. You are either a student or a soldier. Nothing more than that. Being a soldier is you realizing your independence from all dreams you may have, and now you are graduated and ready to face real life.
That job is being active and moving, never being still. Either your mind or your body, you can slow down and rest, but never really stop. If you stop things may come to you and tempt your ideals and thoughts. If you stop your ego will be bored and start looking anywhere for anything to do.
You should always move on to the path. The truth. That's why we have the teachers. The ones blessed with the responsibility of holding the information and be there, and survive, for us to keep coming back to the source.
There's one particular teacher, known by the humans as "tobacco". Sadly, due to our relationship with it built along hundreds of years, I will need to refer to him as a "Dark teacher".
Don't think for any moment there's a bad teacher in the school. On the contrary, they all have their own style and personality. Some of them, the ones holding strong pieces of information, such as masculinity, belonging, protection and grounding are the ones that are more reserved than others.
This is the case with the dark teacher. He is holding a big amount of masculine information from the "explosion of love". So there are times he teaches and there are times he wants to be alone.
Poor thing. Gaia may have thought the same.
The old man is being exploted, wrong used and wasted who knows until when. His particular ability, the one briefly taking you to the source and then come back safely has made him a victim of his own nature. You see, his love is so strong that doesn't want you to go and be hurt.
Yet this is good in a degree, there are other teachers in charge to balance the feeling of belonging and letting go.
Once tobacco, and other forms of it such as "rapé", is overused, it acts as a trapping cage that prevents souls to be fully autonomous, never really ready to face the full version of reality. Hence, they will always come back to the teacher, everytime trying to get something, never realizing when to stop or when has it been enough.
Not only that, tobacco has strong properties of grounding and defense, which can start transforming matter due to its strenght, acting as a destroying component rather than a healing one, when taking constantly and in larger doses.
Nevertheless, Tobacco is one more plant, one more element of the whole creation, one more member of the big orchestra of life, who prefers to be there, in the shadows, only required when it's needed and for the right purpose. His information is serious, so it has to be dealt as such. The dark teacher is a good example of how humans get everything wrong.
