Abstract

The teaching profession will play a significant role in the future of man and society. It is to be expected that in the next century development of consciousness might become the main human activity. Those who attain a higher state of consciousness will exercise an important positive influence on the remaining part of society. In our opinion the teaching profession will become one of these few significant professions. In that case it might become the most influential profession in society.
An illustration of the vision of the teacher and of his vision of education in the new age are presented from this point of view. The essence of our being in love. Therefore, the experience of love and peace, the synergistic relationship of reciprocal giving and receiving between participants in education, are of major significance. These are but a few principles of the new educational paradigma as part of our vision of the teacher. Yesterday is only memory, tomorrow only a vision. Our memories and visions depend on what we are experiencing today. Therefore, the new-age teacher should not be expected tomorrow since he can only be realized today.
