found that, when it came to taking tests, they somehow knew even more than they had grasped during study and preparation. As they took their steps toward preparation for adult life, they were being inwardly guided to answers and awareness beyond their intellectual knowledge.
    Were they being guided by God? Indeed, it seemed we were all being guided by a benevolent spiritual force that brought only good.

    If you are in agreement with the Holy Spirit, which is the ECK, you will be guided in the direction that will take you to the next step.
    Whatever you are going through today is
    training for tomorrow. You need today to reach tomorrow.

    A t the beginning of the new school year, the phenomenon intensified. A student
    named Steve came to my desk one day with
    a sheet of paper. He placed it facedown, saying that I should not look at it until class was over. During class, I wrote a quote on the board about how important it is to be free and strong and to think for ourselves. It just flowed onto the board, beautifully written—a full concept. A lively and deep discussion ensued.
    After class, Steve showed me the paper. He had 29

    written a statement about how much pressure there is to go along with the group, to do the popular thing. He wondered if the whole reason we are here in this life is to learn to be individuals and gain a sense of personal freedom.
    It was fascinating how closely the quote on the board that day seemed to address Steve’s issue and answer the question that he had posed. The year before, Greg had already alluded to this process, and apparently the new students coming in were experiencing it too. Steve told me that this was occurring all the time, both for him and other students.
    He came back to class after school to talk to me. He shared that besides seeing that the writings on my board seemed to answer questions held by the students, he had also noticed another benefit of the quickening—one that others had experienced too: Steve said he was getting along better with other people, including his family.
    Yet, Steve shared a new insight. He thought there was some sort of spiritual portal in this classroom.
    Like a land with a spiritually heightened vibration, he felt maybe our classroom was ideally situated to serve as a gateway into some mysterious inner worlds.
    I was not so sure about all that, but it encouraged me to have our special interest groups continue investigat-ing spiritual matters outside of class.
    I trusted that soon the missing pieces to our esoteric puzzle would be found and all would be made clear. My commission in the meantime was to stay open, trust God, and let the process of inner guidance continue to show the way.
    The students’ interest in our remarkable classroom experiences was further fueled by the fact that we loved the mystery of it all. The classes were full, and there was a long waiting list of those who still wished to Inner Guidance_CH 01-05.p65

    Then, one day, the librarian called me about her research. Searching for the quotes to find the authors and sources had become a sort of game. I
