Looking for initiate study partners! was created by
I've only begun reading but would like to study with one or more people. I do better with someone else to retain the knowledge. I am also trying to bond with the people that should rise through the ranks with me. If you are interested please comment on this topic or message me.
Thank you for taking the time to read this

We do have an IP discussion area
here
. It may not be exactly what you are looking for as the discussion has centred more on the mechanics and practicality of the programme than the subject-matter itself, but it can be used for that purpose also.
My suggestion would be - take the time to read through other people's journals, and if you come across an interesting idea, PM the member to have a friendly discussion about it. Or, ask if that person (or a group of people) want to meet in chat to bounce some ideas around.
Alternatively, if there is a specific concept that you find yourself struggling with or wanting to learn more about, start a new thread about that concept in particular. You will also find that Knights and Masters will be happy to assist if you PM them with anything that is proving tricky to grasp.
Please note that officially, we require Initiates Programme studies to be completed on an individual basis. We want the views and ideas expressed within to be your own, as this will be helpful both for your learning and for our getting to know you. However, that isn't to say that you can't informally discuss and compare your ideas via some of the methods mentioned above.

Better to leave questions unanswered than answers unquestioned

I'm so very tempted to go through that material again, but before I hit anyone any PMs on this one I'd really want to make sure nobody has an objection... Guess the reason is obvious.
I will try and not be an influence but I'm afraid I might have to do the devil's advocate here and there, if that's of any use to anyone.

Challenging someone as the devil's advocate is certainly useful assuming that person is prepared to be challenged and is ready to learn all they can from it. I personally enjoy interacting with you and at the very least you make me reconsider my own thoughts, opinions, and beliefs on a regular basis. Sometimes your objections lead me to find better support for my own position, and sometimes you make me completely reevaluate it. Either way, I can always learn a lot from it.

Devil’s advocate is an incredibly useful tool in exploring and understanding our own view points. I would say the first part of the IP is to get something from it though.
