Expectations Toward a Teacher

A man enquires about expectations toward a teacher and their teachings. Rupert responds that having expectations is entirely natural, noting that he, too, has placed expectations on his teachers in the past. He explains that the projections we once had on our parents and teachers often transfer to spiritual teachers. Rupert tries not to conform to these projections. He observes that for anyone who regularly attends his retreats, the traditional teacher-student relationship gradually fades, leaving behind a deep friendship.
