"Are we looking to be 'saved' from the pain of our lives? Are we wishing to find an unconditionally loving parent figure to help heal a deep and primal wound of feeling unloved and unseen? Are we wishing to hand over our own power to another in the hopes of being led due to a lack of inner trust in oneself? Because if we are, we are bound to be disappointed in any teacher (or healer, counselor, and so on), we go to.
If we are seeking to heal core wounds through the loving acceptance of a teacher, we need to be aware of this, and see what our own unconscious needs are. What is vital is to be honest with oneself, not that any of these 'needs' are bad in themselves. But can another human being really ever help make one whole, or is that up to each and every one of us to ultimately give to ourselves?
The more honestly we access our motivations, the more conscious (and co-participant) we become as we make our own journey back to wholeness. In this way, we are less likely to give our power away or overlook abuse. It is time to evolve out of being a child handing over our evolutionary growth to another blindly, and mature into the adult that is our birthright. My feeling is that we are all teachers and students to one another. And the more honest we are in what we choosing to participate in, the more we shine a light on our own spiritual journey. Being a light onto oneself is what ultimately frees."
