Syncretic Terms
Syncretic Terms are terms, typically from different spiritual or conceptual traditions, that mean or refer to the same thing. The LP term Spiritual Ego is syncretic with the Christian term Soul, the Vedic term Atman, and so on and so forth.
Notes
Wherever possible, the definitions in the SpiritWiki link to syncretic terms from various traditions. For example, the entry for Spiritual Ego contains over 40 syncretic terms linking to over a dozen spiritual traditions.

Lightning Path Terminology
In order to solve the problem of Nomenclature Confusion, in order to facilitate the development of open, accessible and grounded Human Development Framework, particularly one that incorporates a sophisticated spirituality the Lightning Path provides its own neutral, non-denominational, unbiased, and modern terminology.
Terms on these pages are Lightning Path terms. Many terms on this page are original and exclusive to the Lightning Path system. Many others are external terms that fit the "non-biased, non-denominational, and modern" requirement Still others are terms the LP has incorporated, but redefined or redefined in a significant way.
A quick note...
This is a rough list. I'm sure I've included some external terms inappropriately, and there is still work to do in refining and defining LP concepts. The resource is constantly evolving. Feedback welcome, but please keep your flames to yourself.
