Spirit describes to to me how the mentor system works:

Teacher and student are

Attracted to each other

For different reasons.

The field of energy

Between them is

real and dynamic

A pressure gradient of

Information and understanding

Flows both ways.

Respect and gratitude

From the Student

Determine, at least

To some extent

How beneficial

The relationship is, and

Are necessary components of

That relationship, that

Energy field.

Also, an inner compulsion

Or destiny

Is at Work, and

A goal beyond what

Either teacher or student

Is aware of.
