[[Awakening won't immediately and completely dissolve your conditioning]]. So even teachers who have deep awakenings still have [burdened](Burdens.md) [[Parts]]. These burdened parts may seek to fill unmet needs by taking advantage of the power they hold over their students. And adoring students seeking a savior can feed the spiritual ego parts of a teacher. These spiritual ego parts can lead the teacher to believing that they are enlightened and can do no wrong. The image of a perfect enlightened teacher can lead students to more readily accepting abuses in power.
Another problem is that many spiritual teachers seem to disregard healing. And healing practices would help to dissolve conditioning: [[Healing practices are still useful post-awakening]] and [[Abiding in Self naturally and effortlessly deconditions our parts]].
