The Student Leapfrogs the Teacher
Manage episode 454856696 series 3623069
Shaman Jon Rasmussen's blog post advocates for a non-hierarchical approach to shamanic practice, asserting that students can surpass their teachers. He argues that this "leapfrogging" is natural and essential for evolution, contrasting it with ego-driven hierarchical systems. Rasmussen uses his own experience and that of his teachers to illustrate how newer practitioners can sometimes achieve better results due to fresh perspectives. He emphasizes the importance of client resonance with a shaman, suggesting a system of referrals based on experience and compatibility rather than a strict teacher-student hierarchy. Finally, he notes the need for more shamans and encourages those with the gift to embrace their calling.
