I don't think that's a sufficient explanation of the distinguishing characteristics, but maybe it starts us down a fruitful path.
Sounds like a fine enough template to use. I'm now trying to see where the radical honesty comes into the picture. Everywhere, I guess. Especially in looking at the will and desire, and recognizing where there are conflicting wills and desires, and why. Also in seeing honestly which level one is at, in order to properly design the discipline for getting to the next level. Then again, don't I need to aim higher than I think is possible, in order not to limit myself?
I think the trick is to keep the honesty non-judgemental.
Easier said than done...
