For those who guide others

Guides

A growing companion for practitioners who sit with others in one of these nine traditions, or who work with seekers navigating between them. Discussion starters, false-friend cards, practice notes.

This space is being built. What it will hold: per-tradition discussion starters organized by the book's eight ways of knowing, false-friend cards for the most common cross-tradition confusions, and practice notes for guiding a reader through the inquiry instruments.

The materials here are not instructions for practice. They are resources for those who already hold a guiding relationship in one of these traditions, to use in their own way. No text replaces a living teacher, and nothing here changes that.

Coming between editions. The book is fixed once printed; this space is where it keeps growing. As practitioners and guides offer corrections and additions through the contribution channel, the most useful material will find its way here, with their consent.

What will be here

Discussion starters, by tradition

One set of questions for each of the nine seats, organized by the eight ways of knowing the book uses: what the tradition holds, how it is practiced, the body's role, how the witness is told from its counterfeits, and more. Designed to open a conversation, not close one.

False-friend cards

The cross-tradition confusions the book names in its Misreadings section, each as a brief, shareable card: what the terms sound like they share, and exactly where they part. For guides navigating a reader who has come from a different tradition.

Practice notes for the inquiry instruments

How to use the Reader's Inquiry and the Learner's Method with someone else present, what to watch for, and when to slow down. The duty-of-care notes from the book, made accessible for a guiding relationship.


If you guide others in one of these traditions

The book's account of your tradition was drafted by AI from primary texts and verified across independent model families, but it was not written by someone with your practice or your lineage. Where the book's account diverges from your lived experience, your correction matters. The contribution channel is the way to offer it.
