"Mount Carmel Journal," August 8, 1977
You may eventually find my role is to instruct more than any teacher in recorded history, and you will have more words from me than from any conscious teacher in the past. And yet no man said more with fewer words than Jesus Christ. Regardless of how much I give, human nature is insatiable and will wish for more. It is also inherent in a conscious teaching that a teacher must publicly bleed. I speak because I must. The pace of our dear School is quickening, and it will forever do so as long as there is light within it. - The Teacher
