Course XI - Teaching 13: Exposition of the Teaching

The constant Orator’s concern has to be an efficient and positive result of the Teaching presented.
He has to assume the Teaching with knowledge of it and with an exact idea of his exposition and of how he will present it.
Necessarily he should have certain personal method so that the Teaching gathers living and real strength. Over and above, the Orator has to know properly the text of the Teaching. He has to know the text not only through readings and studies, but also conscientiously. He has to differentiate definitely if the text refers to fundamental and invariable concepts of Cafh’s doctrine, or to general concepts.
Cafh does not impose certain beliefs on his Sons, apart from the indispensable need of linking the soul and God through inner realization and Renunciation, but Cafh has fundamental and steady concepts that are invariably accepted by his Sons through both understanding and adhesion.
Indispensably, the Sons must hold fast in their own citadel as a point of starting and support, even by respecting and being aware of theories and dogmas of other philosophies.
The Orator has to know quite well fundamental concepts of Cafh to differentiate them and other general concepts.
He is a bad orator if inserts in the Teaching concepts acquired by book reading, with similar ideas to those of Cafh’s, and does not know how to differentiate diverse hues of them.
So, he must know what makes the difference between the doctrine of Cafh and other doctrines; and his concepts should be quite clear and definite concepts, particularly such as eternity, divinity, action and reaction, becoming and asceticism.
The Orator has to define fundamental Cafh’s concepts continuously and repeatedly, so that they remain engraved on the Son’s memory. He has to teach how to obtain from the Teaching definitions offered by the text.
The Orator’s discourse about substantial concepts of the Teaching has to contain a faithful and rigorous exposition method, never detached of it in the least. But he must have his own original method related to circumstantial and derived concepts of the descriptive teaching. He sustains the Teaching with the fundamental doctrine, but everything around it with an ever new mode, adapted to the circumstance, to the capacity of the Sons hearing, heir mood and inner feelings, and even by influencing it with current evolutionary events.
The Orator should cause the soul to feel that it is acquiring richness through the Teaching received, and also a new value and moral and conceptual power.
The more the Orator strives for fostering this concept of constant richness in the soul, the more he will obtain its steady spiritual education.
The Orator’s exposition should have ever new resources, not repeated in the same way.
