Not aiming to bring doom and gloom, but I feel we are not yet ready for such an undertaking. Just my opinion. But on the other side, everything is possible.
I have little doubt it would eventually be corrupted. The original founders will either die off or go in different ways. But does this diminish the light that might be held at the beginning? No, I don't think so. But I also don't think it is necessary to have some sacred order. There would always be those who misinterpret, thinking that it is better than something else. Organizations like this tend to attract STS individuals, and how could you keep the organization clean without violating freedom? It seems to me like a self-destroying idea.
That and, those who might be able to bring the organization great light I believe would naturally go in their individual ways. I don't think it would attract true wanderers. It would only attract those seeking a destination. And it is my understanding that there is no such thing as a destination in self-discovery.
I believe that when ready, wanderers will come together as a natural process; this is already taking place. We need not attempt to control the process.
I hope my ideas contribute.
