* '''Key Terms''': Fundamental terms necessary to understand the concept.
* '''Syncretic Terms''':  Terms with closely aligned meanings or interchangeable usage. Example, 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''': Terms that are not core but are necessary for deeper understanding. 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]].

Overview

The SpiritWiki is an intentional and ethically structured knowledge repository. It integrates validated concepts from Human Development, Psychology, Sociology, Education, and Authentic Spirituality into a clear, logical, and empirically grounded framework. Its primary function is to eliminate Nomenclature Confusion, ideological distortion, and elite manipulation within spiritual and human development knowledge systems.

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

  • **Structured** — Every entry follows a standardized, semantically interlinked format.
  • **Transparent and Research-Based** — All entries are empirically grounded, decolonized, and ethically constructed.
  • **Accessible and Open-Access** — Knowledge is freely available and designed for collective human and planetary benefit.
  • **Integrated within the Avatar SPKS** — Serving as the knowledge core of a broader, planetary-scale emancipatory knowledge system.

Structure

Each SpiritWiki entry is structured into mandatory and optional sections to ensure clarity, coherence, and conceptual integrity.

Mandatory Sections

  • Definition — The canonical definition of a term.
  • Concept Map — Organized lists of related, syncretic, and associated terms using Semantic MediaWiki queries.
 * Key Terms — Fundamental terms required to understand the concept.
 * Syncretic Terms — Terms with closely aligned meanings or interchangeable usage.
 * Related LP Terms — LP terms necessary for deeper understanding.
 * Non-LP Related Terms — Relevant terms from outside the LP system.

Optional Sections

  • Overview — High-level description and significance of the concept.
  • Core Elements — Structural components of the concept.
  • Core Principles — Ethical or structural principles underlying the concept.
  • Examples — Practical examples or applications.
  • Why This Matters — Explanation of planetary or developmental relevance.
  • Strategic Significance — Role in advancing planetary healing and conscious evolution.
  • Extended Exploration — Links to related articles, analysis, or expanded discussions.
  • Notes — Commentary, research links, and developmental observations.
  • Quotes — Direct quotations clarifying or contextualizing the concept.
  • Footnotes and References — Supporting citations and academic grounding.

Notes

The SpiritWiki & The Pathfinder Educational Model (PEM)

The SpiritWiki is a foundational component of the PEM, serving as:
