· Has the courage to stand, and to ask hard questions, of himself and others:

“Am I acting and relating with integrity? Honesty? Compassion? Right use of power?”
“Do I make wise use of money to serve spiritual purposes?”
“Do I live every moment in a spirit of unconditional love while at the same time being prepared to speak out fearlessly on certain social, communal, environmental and ethical issues?”

· Does not become glamoured by power

· Realises that the light she helps shed on the way highlights and helps eliminate darkness or evil. Bears the fire of spirit

· Sacrifices time, energy, money and self in consistent ongoing service

· Dares in every circumstance. Risktakes, and is always to be found in the vanguard or at the cutting edge. A spiritual trailblazer

· Shows boldness, and the willingness to stand up and be counted. Dares to speak out and to act

· Is willing to criticise sacred cows. Is willing to take criticism or abuse

· Is highly creative and expresses beauty in the world. Exhibits a high degree of originality and refuses to be categorized
