  1. The problem with eclecticism is consistency; accepting an existing system of belief/practice obviates that problem. Erecting your own, unique metaphysical superstructure is the work of a particular personality type, and not generally necessary, as most systems allow for a passable degree of personalization. But I think most seekers just go one way until they want to go a different way...

  2. But...I've heard it said, "There are only leaders and followers." If you're not leading, you must be following...Whatever you follow is a de-facto "leader". If you "follow your heart", your heart is the "leader"...I don't get a lot of mileage out of the leader vs follower dynamic...When you see something new and interesting, are you "led" by it simply because you are "following" it for examination purposes?
