These days everybody and their dog has something spiritual to say. From churches to ashrams to the local New Age coffee shop, everybody is an expert, everybody has wisdom, everybody can "channel," and everyone "knows the way." And while the general expansion of spirituality is a good thing, not all people who speak may speak with the same authority, wisdom, or judgment.
The problem is, how do you tell? How do you know when someone is offering pearls of spiritual wisdom or useless spiritual chaff? How do you tell the difference between somebody who has resisted the temptations of power, ego, and lucre and somebody who would sell the soul of their own mother in order to make a fast buck or two?
Dr. Michael Sharp (Dr. S) has some ideas about that. In Rocket Scientists' Guide to Discernment Michael speaks about the "discernment red flags" that you can use to winnow the spiritual wheat from the useless chaff. Don't waste your precious end-times time following false prophets, puzzled pundits, and bafflegabbed gurus. Learn to discern from a true master of modern spirituality.
