Thanx for the nifty way to kill 15 minutes. Your post is
a path to excellent slacking off time taking a break, you
might say! Positive role models off the top of my head,
well, there just aren't that many truly spiritually evolved
beings on the planet, ever (about 1 - 5%). Most of the truly healthy
people make a point of not becoming famous, although they
may have accomplished much more than various famous people.
There are such people in all egram types but these are the
only ones I can think of off the top of my head. Don Juan - 5
Tarthang Tulku - don't know, but probably 6
Shunryu Suzuki - 6 (5 subtype)
J. Krishnamurti - 6
Dalai Lama -6
George Washington -6
Abraham Lincoln - 5
John Lennon (near the end) - 4
Goethe - 6
Moses - 5 (6 subtype)
Gurdjieff - 1
Zoroaster - no idea
An excellent book about being a generative "tribal elder" for
the human community is a Jungian book on the psychological
wisdom in fairy tales by Allen B. Chinen of UCSF, called
"Beyond the Hero".
