Edgar,

No, you've said that MORE than once.

If a practitioner in our tradition cares to be sure that they are not deluding 
THEMSELVES, and have truly awoken to Tathagata Zen, a teacher is needed to do 
the testing.

I don't know about your "essential" (I use that word differently), but I'd say 
necessary.

To do that latter step.

That testing.

"Get it?", now?
