Bingo. And it's understandable. There is a mindset within the TMO (and, to be fair, within many traditions) that "knowledge" and "wisdom" are synonymous with being able to parrot back ideas that have been taught to you. Your "standing" or "value" to the organization is based upon how WELL you can parrot. Not only is no credit given to someone who comes up with their own words to describe phenomena or concepts, you are often considered "off the program" for doing so. It's the academic approach to didactic learning, super- imposed on a study that should be about individual experience and expression, because it has to do with individual awakening. Standardization of dogma has to do only with standardization of dogma, not with "knowledge."
