Ignite the inner fire and it will take you places you've never been before. This is the rôle of the teacher: to lead/coax/cajole/trick you out of your comfort zone – your known – and into the unknown. We'd like spirit to become the teacher: working to rouse the spirit, then it will take us into the unknown. That's the transmission: a spark that wakes your spirit. Without it you'll always need the teacher.
