- William Segal on the Role of the Teacher -
True knowledge, to perpetuate itself, needs living forms. Those who seek it must assimilate it directly by participation of their whole being. It is not knowledge but the experience of the “other” that a teacher imparts. This becomes yours; when you receive it, you can shape it in your own way to meet your particular needs. Our life situations, our make-ups are different. You will use the experience of wholeness to meet your life, not adapt it to my way. This is a living teaching. The way is shown, the experience is passed on like a light from candle to candle. But is always an individual light.
