As a wise man once said: "You can't be an advisor to someone who doesn't have an inner advisor."
Wow... maybe I'm just hormonal today, but this hits me as a bit conflicted.

I don't need anyone else to grant me freedom of thought... that's mine alone, to share with source as I see fit.

And wouldn't having an inner advisor imply a level of subjectivism? To me it does, anyway.

Fascinating, stimulating discussion!
