The teacher clearly distinguishes external and internal. She appreciates that the external exists only to house the internal. At some point in her tutelage she made a very important decision: to follow only the internal – to let it be her sole guide through life. In a sense this is no decision at all, since, having distinguished external and internal it would be impossible to be guided by the external as it clearly has no wisdom or spirit. However, the external, being visible, sensible and generally in the foreground, always threatens to overpower the internal which is invisible, insensible (nonsensical), and lingering behind or beneath or below. This is why the teacher is also a warrior – ever suspicious and vigilant – and a hunter – restlessly delving and searching.
