hi richard, I'm cc'ing John, in case he's interested in contributing

just one remark, how can you equate rotating positions, with a priestly cast, i.e.

<The priestly class is diluted but still essential?>

For me this is a denial that any person can offer contributions based on special knowledge or experience, and violates the principle of equipotentiality,

Yeh, my somewhat snide comment missed the side of the barn by a mile. My response to "The Guru question" clarifies my view that we can all be teachers. Again, it is the "spiritual" angle that skews my interpretation. I have re-appropriated the guru into the secular domain of bio-cognitive development, which refers to a holistic, in-person practice (essentially p2p) for two or more people that focuses not on learning facts but developing bio-cognitive skills and abilities (bio-cognitive = body & brain).
