The ladies and their guests talk about the merits and flaws of personal gnosis "self-actualization" versus guidance, mentorship, rules and "regulation." Matters discussed range from whether or not the government should legislate alternative health access; whether or not it is valuable or limiting to have mentorship in spiritual and psychic development and why; the value of initiation in such traditions as Reiki, Shamanism and Wicca, and whether or not such experiences and rituals are valuable or even necessary; why a traditional lack of regulation in the spiritual, metaphysical and alternative health fields have created problems in the past and how to avoid those problems; how life experience can create their own initiations; the beauty of personal gnosis and individual spiritual development; pitfalls to watch out for when choosing a teacher or practitioner; and how to recognize and avoid destructive practitioners and mentors.
