When the Helper Is Mistaken for the Source

Fixing, Helplessness, the Gate, and the Human Instrument

What happens when the helper is mistaken for the Source? This booklet looks at the burden placed on the fixer, rescuer, advisor, parent, backstop, or last hand when one thing cannot be fixed. It asks how need turns people into gods, how love lets them become human again, and why the helper can stand at the gate but cannot become Bhagavān.
