The+God+Teacher

=**The God Teacher**=

The God Teacher archetype provides a link between heaven and earth, an intermediary, a channel whereby mankind could relate to the Gods. Mankind needed a bridge that would connect them to the divine world. The mythology about the god teachers provide this divine sanction for the rituals and traditions people live by. God teachers can be considered benevolent and malevolent. They give gifts that reduce the power which fate and chance has over human life....such as fire. God teachers teach things/skills which help bring mankind out of darkness and give them knowledge and awareness they need to take on the responsibilities of civilization. God teachers were orginally the far-seeing, wise and benevolent god who saved mankind with a gift....like Prometheus. You have read several stories in this section that show the god teacher in a different kind of light.
