At a certain stage of consciousness development, further advancement is possible only if knowledge is transferred. In other words, someone who has reached a certain level of development must necessarily become a teacher. The one who says that he does not need students - or does not understand this important thing (then he really does not need students - he still needs to develop), or is flirting, or lying
Just as a spring from which water is not drawn turns into a swamp, a magician who does not impart knowledge degenerates. Therefore, a teacher needs a student no less than a teacher needs a student, because in the process of teaching magic, the energy of the teacher and student unite, as a result of which the student gets the opportunity to move, and the teacher gets the opportunity to flow the Force. But at the same time, the student’s Strength increases, and the teacher’s Strength decreases. However, this drop in strength opens the door for further development. And entering into a “teacher-student” relationship means the unification of Paths, which means a relationship no less than blood relationship
The relationship between teacher and student is quite equivalent - it is a parity exchange of movement capabilities. It is this fact that explains the traditional ban on teaching Magic for money - in this case, parity is violated and the “teacher” ends up using the student’s resources - which means that the current of power is directed to the Qlippoth. Such “trading in Power” leads both the “seller” and the buyers to nowhere, since instead of a current of Power, the result is only its leakage
This applies to both charlatans, who in their madness wander into the abyss and carry away gullible students with them, and otherworldly creatures who pose as “teachers from subtle planes” and find many victims for themselves
