The hazards of this projection are that we must be alert to the possibility that the guru will not carry this projection particularly well. He may not know how to handle the degree of intensity of emotion that will be part of the relationship. He may also find the depth of need some disciples express either frightening or irresistible. Often when disciples have a history of damaged parenting, the emotional need for parental love is so great it becomes unbearable. If this is not understood—and many Eastern teachers will not understand the depth of damage some suffer in the West—boundaries can become confused. Teachers may unwittingly cross those boundaries, unaware of the nature of abuse that that will bring to the surface. Someone transgressing those same boundaries under the guise of helping never heals abuse that occurred in childhood.
