      The best teachers I've had have let me be at my edge with respect to empowerment. They haven't expected me to be either more or less experienced/empowered than I already am. 1/

      With those teachers, when I've become empowered in a new way and assert my independence, they step back, giving me enough room to discover how little/much I actually know. Good teachers are like good parents in this sense. 2/

      Other teachers I've had have either taken too much authority, imposing their will on mine, or taken too little, treating me as if I should already be an equal in areas I'm not. Both of these scenarios, when they didn't shift, have lead to the end of the relationship. 3/

      My experience as a teacher is that I'm constantly feeling for these edges. Trusting someone else's growing trust in themselves & being willing to call out arrogance & delusion. Sometimes letting go and stepping back, sometimes bravely charging in. It's a dance. 4/

      Replying to @VincentHorn

      As a student I think it can also be okay, when there's some uncertainty, to simply ask the student whether they themselves think they might be falling into arrogance or delusion. That may cause them to double down, or it may trigger a moment of genuine reflection and insight.

          I know that for me, hearing that question would force me to automatically re-ask it of myself, and that would spark an opportunity to check. I would just have to hope that my mindfulness is strong enough in that moment to actually look before the mind raises its guard again.
