In the answers to Gnostic's beautiful question from earlier, two types of opinion were expressed.
Some say we should share our insights, at least one says no, sharing can diminish them.
Seem to me that there are (at least) two quite different types of genuine insight. In the first, we are shown some aspect or taste of Truth for OUR benefit, a precious gift to help us on our way or to deepen our understanding. I think this type does lose by being widely shared.
Then there is the insight of Truth for the sake of the Truth itself. Re-discovery or re-cognition. That should be shared and it spreads its light in the sharing.
How do we know the difference? Well, I guess that's why we have teachers.
What'cha think?
