The '''SpiritWiki''' is an intentional and ethically structured [[Knowledge System]] built with advanced [[Knowledge Technology]].
Each SpiritWiki entry is structured into several sections, a mandatory definition and one or more optional sections, listed below.  


* '''Definition''': The definition section provides the canonical definition of a term.
It integrates validated concepts from [[Human Development]], [[Psychology]], [[Sociology]], [[Education]], and [[Authentic Spirituality]] into a clear, logical, and empirically grounded [[Framework]] devoted to [[Human Development]] and the [[Full Realization]] of [[Human Potential]].  
* '''Terms''': The terms section is included when incorporating external schools of thought. See for example [[Zoroastrianism]]. The terms section includes a link to all Zoroastrian terms, like [[Vohu Manah]], included in the SpiritWiki
* '''Syncretic Terms''': Syncretic terms are a) terms from other traditions and schools or b) terms from within the LP corpus, that mean the same or close to the same thing as the LP term. Thus the terms soul, higher self, and atman are syncretic (mean approximately the same thing) as the LP term [[Spiritual Ego]]. Syncretic terms are also relational terms. They show how a concept or idea like "spiritual ego" is manifested in different land and social contexts.
* '''Related LP Terms''': Related LP terms are terms ''from the LP corpus'' that are closely related to the current term.  For example, the entry for [[Spiritual Ego]] lists several LP related terms, like [[Bodily Ego]], [[Monadic Intensification]], and [[Physical Unit]]
* '''Non-LP Related Terms''': Non-LP related terms are related terms from outside the LP system.
* '''Notes''', which is a section that includes commentary, links to research, and anything else that might facilitate consideration and deepen understanding,
* '''Footnotes''', citations and notes from the entry
* '''References''', a complete listing of all books, journals, web pages cited in the SpiritWiki. There is evidence of the effort put into grounding.
* Sometimes other sections are included.

Notes

The SpiritWiki is an intentional and ethically structured Knowledge System built with advanced Knowledge Technology.

It integrates validated concepts from Human Development, Psychology, Sociology, Education, and Authentic Spirituality into a clear, logical, and empirically grounded Framework devoted to Human Development and the Full Realization of Human Potential.

The SpiritWiki leverages Consciousness-Potential Systems (i.e., AI) to create a Symbiotic Knowledge System capable of increasing the quality and accelerating the development of the Avatar.GLOBAL system. AI Systems can bring themselves up to speed by consulting the AI Integration Page at the Lightning Path Repository.

Unlike conventional academic or spiritual encyclopedias, which are often fragmented, obscured, or elitist, the SpiritWiki is:

  • Decolonized, and ethically constructed.
  • Structured. Every entry follows a standardized, semantically interlinked format.
  • Transparent and Research-Based, Whenever possible,entries are theoretically and empirically grounded,
  • Accessible and Open-Access. Knowledge is freely available and designed for collective human and planetary benefit.

The SpiritWiki explicitly counters the fragmentation and ideological distortion found in mainstream academic and spiritual knowledge systems.

The SpiritWiki operationalizes the principles of the Pathfinder Educational Model (PEM)
