I've always found it best to have someone who holds the "long" transmission, the original line from the historical and gnostic source of a teaching and the "close" transmission, someone who awakened that transmission recently in their own lives through meaningful contact with modern realizers of a given teaching. These have been my criteria and they've yet to fail me.
