This blog post by one of the editors of EnlightenNext magazine really struck a chord with me - it's an energized view from the other side of the "flatland" of postmodernism.
"In postmodern culture we simply love to pull people down, even if we’ve never attempted to rise up ourselves and become true cultural leaders, authorities, or exemplars in any field — whether it’s art, business, science, politics, or even spirituality. But why do we feel such a need to do it?"
"All excellence is elitist. And that includes spiritual excellence as well. But spiritual excellence is an elitism to which all are invited."
The sad truth is that excellence makes people nervous.- Shana Alexander
