You're going on my list of posters to follow, Eric. I like your style. I also admire you and others who can write so voluminously and fluently at the same time. I'm simple-minded, so the best I can do is to reduce a concept to the simplest form possible and relate it in a few sentences.
I have a feeling it's a one-word answer, the Big Question. But it's the journey, not the destination, etc.
Indeed I've seen this brand of spirituality be used...to try and pick up chicks, lol. And overblown egos are everywhere and charge you for the pleasure of adoring them. Your caution is well placed...but on the other hand, anyone who finds themselves painting that rusty ship ahd progressed to just that point, and when they realize what they're doing, they'll go help build the new Ark.
