which "advanced" seekers leave for those on the lower rungs of the spiritual ladder. Agreed - that word has been used and abused in so many ways that it has no clear meaning. So, what will I say?

- Nothing - I won't talk about it, like Shantimayi and Gangaji instructed me in 2000.
- Avoid - I will converse about spiritual teachers, or about the mundane details of life.
- Waffle - I will mince words, avoiding anything that might bring criticism.
- Fearless - I will jump in, bold, direct, and get smited, or watch people get up and leave.

Worse is a spiritual oligarchy, a "family" (or sangha) who sees outsiders as unworthy unless they shutup and wait for eventual acceptance. Then, everybody can stay on the same page, and avoid, or waffle their words. That trap is a spiritual status quo. Never! I Am Number Four.
