Changes

You are greatly loved. You are steadfastly guided. The more you allow yourself to feel this, the more you will gain confidence in your own ability, and in time your pilot will know that the relationship that exists between you will be more on equal footing. Does this help?

Student: I'm not sure what you mean by equal footing? I feel, as captain, even if I don't feel completely confident, its important to at least behave with balance and calmness, and not reflect any fears or doubts or negativity. As I grow in giving substance to those - to my confidence, to at least project it, I'm not sure how that fits with what you're saying? I can't hand over control to the pilot entirely? What are the captain's duties, I guess is my question then? If the pilot is so important then, and really in control of the ship, then what is the duty of the captain?

Welmek: In the example that we are using, I would suggest that the captain is the one who makes the decision to take a certain course, and that the pilot knows whether or not that will be safe, or whether it will be headed for turbulent seas. And so the pilot must follow your commands. But if the pilot were to suggest another course of action, or another channel, as it were, because the course that you have selected or projected is turbulent, which one would you rather undergo? (The pilot's advice.)
