Well then so long as people are made aware that what appears to be "linear" is simply a cross-section of a spiral, then that would make sense to me.
I see too many systems that try to force everybody through the same linear path. Everything from the chakras opening (my chakras have clearly been opening in "reverse" order from what is commonly taught) to mathematics (why does one need to learn algebra before calculus?).
Bottom line is... pretty much anybody who authors a "system" of some sort almost immediately goes into the mode of defending said "system" from attackers, and digging their heels in deeper until it becomes dogma, and until their entire personage is defined by this "system" that they came up with.
Then of course, there is the inevitable person(s) who comes along and "creates" the anti-system. With all the attendant sophistry and attention-seeking behavior that goes along with "playing devil's advocate" and arguing for argumentation's sake and to be "clever" rather than for the sake of truth. Such individuals just can't seem to see the irony of forwarding their demi-urgic "creations" which are largely devoid of any true creativity. Such "anti-systems" are wholly based upon saying the opposite of something offered by a genuine author, and contain little to no original thought.
Personally, I have worked on creating many such "systems" in the past. Generally, I find that about two-thirds of the way through, a new and improved system comes into my mind that makes the one I was just working on obsolete. So in my view, creating a system is a great exercise, but hardly something that I would want to stand behind with the whole of my being and declare that this is "Who I Am" and "What Is So".
Hence you will find no books, book series, scientific papers, tapes and DVDs, feature length films, talk show appearances, syndicated content, T-shirts and buttons, retreat cruises, patents, copyrights, etc., under my authorship. I just don't have the time to get anything like that out as I am already on to the next thing. Ironically, the lack of said authorship appears to be a stumbling block in many people's minds as to the credibility of my words.
Again, stepping stones are fine so long as they are marked as stepping stones and not each as "The Destination".

I really struggle with accepting this. I honestly don't see this kind of attitude as normal or necessary. I see it as a carefully constructed manipulation tactic engineered to keep humans from truly connecting with one another.
At least the global elitist bankers are open and honest about their control tactics and desire to rule the world. Many "spiritual" people like to disguise their controlling behaviors as "love and light" and to use their "spirituality" as a defense mechanism against acknowledging the existence of negative things and people in the world.
In particular, the vGreen memers like to deny the existence of global elitist bankers that are plotting to rule the world. So that works out quite conveniently for the global elitist bankers.
