who was consulted, what information was considered, what alternatives were weighed — is available to anyone affected.
Luminous Tantra
Consent as Sacred Contract
In a tantric context, power operates through multiple channels: knowledge (the teacher knows things the student does not), experience (the advanced practitioner can access states the beginner cannot), charisma (some individuals naturally command attention and compliance), and structural role (the facilitator/teacher/guide role carries authority regardless of the individual filling it).
