GREAT TEACHERS LIVE ON
Thursday, September 28, 2018
By Rev. Dr. Larry Delano Coleman
Life and death coexist. Each tempers, distinguishes, accentuates the other.
In like manner, spiritual and material exist; may even pre-exist life and death.
Man being of some consistency of each is privy to the power, potential of each.
As ferns, as crustaceans, as seeds, even fish, leave fossilized remains embedded in earth for exhumation eons after “life,” so too, great men leave teachings for others.
These teachings, if decoded, transcribed, translated, and transmitted emit new life. Thereby, it may be said that these teachers have not died , since their lessons live.
Thus, it is well said that “The letter killeth, but the spirit quickeneth.”
But, quoting what is elsewhere written is not nearly as good, being but words, is not nearly as important, as just doing, being, living, whatever may be quoted by anyone.
Great teachers taught these things about life and death, about material and spiritual.
Thus, great teachers, like great teachings, live on, co-terminally, with life and death.
