Because they are designed to be spiritual trailblazers, disciples are not necessarily comfortable people to work with. They see further and more truly than the rest of us, they challenge, they will confidently go where most of us fear to tread. And in doing so, they liberate and, most important of all, they catalyse the next phase of humanity’s great evolutionary journey of unfoldment. It is time we learnt to recognise them, and make full use of all that their cv’s don’t include.
