13 Sangha Importance of Spiritual Lineage Sep Why is lineage important? Because we become who we are because of relationships. The importance of relationships is magnified when we aim to move into higher, unknown levels of consciousness which are revealed to us by our guides and their lineages. The root guru, our primary connection to the immensity of spirit is of particularly crucial importance. Our spiritual life takes on the flavor of this primary teacher. Just as we are not choosing our mother, so we are not choosing our root guru.
