The Gift

When the student is ready, the Mentor appears...but a caveat and Truth of the matter is that the Mentor learns as much, or more, than the student.  In order for the Mentor to truly appear, the Mentor has to be both ready and accepting (Liber Samekh, et al) of their Gifts, the gift from the student and their Gift as a mentor.

This is dedicated to all of the mentors, who really belong with the Divine and stay back in their meat or sock puppet shells and struggle with the limitations and pain of human existence to allow us students to realize, that as students we also have a Gift. 

"The Gift" by Seether

Hold me now I need to feel relief
Like I never wanted anything
I suppose I'll let this go and find a reason I'll hold on to
I'm so ashamed of defeat
And I'm out of reason to believe in me
I'm out of trying to get by

I'm so afraid of the gift you give me
I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
Right on the wrong side of it all

I can't face myself when I wake up
And look inside a mirror
I'm so ashamed of that thing
I suppose I'll let it go
Until I have something more to say for me
I'm so afraid of defeat
And I'm out of reason to believe in me
I'm out of trying to defy

I'm so afraid of the gift you give me
I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
Right on the wrong side of it all

Hold me now I need to feel complete
Like I matter to the one I need

I'm so afraid of the gift you give me
I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
Right on the wrong side of it all

Now I'm ashamed of this
I am so ashamed of this
Now I'm so ashamed of me
I am so ashamed of me...
