Autoethnography can expose marginalized knowledges, marginalized people, oppression, and subjugations &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Pensoneau-Conway, Sandra L, Tony E. Adams, and Derek M Bolen. Doing Autoethnography. Boston: Sense Publishers, 2017.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. Autoethnography confronts “dominant forms of representation and power in an attempt to reclaim, through self-reflective responses, representational spaces that have marginalized those ... at the border.” &amp;lt;Ref&amp;gt;Tierney, William G. “Life History’s History: Subjects Foretold.” Qualitative Inquiry, no. 1 (1998): 49. p. 66&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. This ability to expose marginalized voices is important when it comes to human spirituality because, as has become increasingly clear to me, authentic human spirituality has been suppressed and marginalized in the same way cultures have been marginalized and even destroyed by dominant and exploitative cultures. This includes the suppression of more egalitarian “female” spiritualities by violent and patriarchal Aryan invaders &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Stone, Merlin. When God Was  Woman. New York: Doubleday, 1976.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;, the suppression of contemporary indigenous spirituality by Western Christian actors &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Govinda, Lama Anakarika. “The Ecstasy of Breaking-Through in the Experience of Meditations.” In The Highest State of Consciousness, edited by John White, 235–49.

==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Autoethnography, though open to charges of bias, self-indulgence, and narcissism&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Holt, Nicholas L. “Representation, Legitimation, and Autoethnography: An Autoethnographic Writing Story.” International Journal of Qualitative Methods 2, no. 1 (2003): 18–28.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;, is a powerful and increasingly popular research methodology whereby an author uses autobiographical experience, their own subjectivity, and self-reflection to connect the autobiographical and personal to the cultural, social, and political” &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ellis, Carolyn. The Ethnographic I. Oxford: Rowman &amp;amp; Littlefield, 2004. p. xix&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. Like all research methodology, autoethnography has its strengthens and weaknesses. Autoethnography is particularly suited to recovering voices otherwise silenced by colonial activity of the dominant cultural and economic apparatus. Autoethnography can expose marginalized knowledges, marginalized people, oppression, and subjugations &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Pensoneau-Conway, Sandra L, Tony E. Adams, and Derek M Bolen. Doing Autoethnography. Boston: Sense Publishers, 2017.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. Autoethnography confronts “dominant forms of representation and power in an attempt to reclaim, through self-reflective responses, representational spaces that have marginalized those ... at the border.” &amp;lt;Ref&amp;gt;Tierney, William G. “Life History’s History: Subjects Foretold.” Qualitative Inquiry, no. 1 (1998): 49. p. 66&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. This ability to expose marginalized voices is important when it comes to human spirituality because, as has become increasingly clear to me, authentic human spirituality has been suppressed and marginalized in the same way cultures have been marginalized and even destroyed by dominant and exploitative cultures. This includes the suppression of more egalitarian “female” spiritualities by violent and patriarchal Aryan invaders &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Stone, Merlin. When God Was  Woman. New York: Doubleday, 1976.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;, the suppression of contemporary indigenous spirituality by Western Christian actors &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Govinda, Lama Anakarika. “The Ecstasy of Breaking-Through in the Experience of Meditations.” In The Highest State of Consciousness, edited by John White, 235–49. New York: Doubleday, 2012.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Some, Malidoma Patrice. Of Water and the Spirit. New York: Penguin Arcana, 1994.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;, and the suppression of Christian teachings that threatened the ancient status quo. ion by an empirical and scientific voice is needed. &lt;br /&gt;
