Putting patience and a single guide in the same list is interesting, since staying with one teacher is what stops the jumping around you describe. I'd guess most beginners trip on that one before the other five. Thanks for laying out the basics.

There are many complex topic can be explained in POK but everyone who wants to walk of this path should know few basics things. So to understand how the pok actually works….
1) Learning through direct experiences.
2) Three levels or layers of knowledge
Self realisation
Essence of experiences
Oneness
3) Defination of truth and false. I.e. satya and maya.
4) Duality - i generally talks about non-dulaity that is why I could see many of people get so many times tangle in duality by asking questions like how presence and oneness could be same. They yet have to learn about how duality works.
5) Having a guidance - someone who have already advanced in this path. This is also very important so that beginner don't get lost in some kind of belief.
6) Patience with Pok. No monkey mind by jumping from path to other or from one guidance to other.
There are others too but as far I come to conclusion these are most important. Even the most important out of all these is to learn about three layers of knowledge through your own experience.
Now after that if you want to learn more you have to develop basic things of pok all 6 are important if to continue to know about spirituality through pok terms.

Is trying to attain oneness useless?
Is it really not matters if you attain oneness or not?

Does Christianity actually fear knowledge?
One of the most persistent stereotypes about Christianity is that it fears knowledge. The story is familiar. Religion relies on faith. Science relies on evidence. One asks questions, the other suppresses them. The heroes are the people who challenged religious authority, while the Church stands as the institution that tried to hold them back. There are moments in history that support parts of that story. The Church has made mistakes. It has sometimes resisted new ideas. The Galileo affair…

Does the state corrupt the Church more than the Church ever corrupts the state?
Constantine's church became an instrument of imperial politics within a generation. Franco's bishops became collaborators in child theft. Patriarch Kirill blesses wars. The question is not whether you will gain political influence. The question is what will be left of what you started with once the people who wanted the influence are done with it.

Should we stop gatekeeping who counts as a real Christian?
Something occurred to me today. For centuries, especially in the English-speaking world, Catholics were often portrayed as superstitious, anti-intellectual, hostile to freedom, and blindly obedient to authority. Some of that came from real conflicts. Some of it came from centuries of Protestant polemics and what historians call the Black Legend. Either way, the image became deeply embedded in Western culture.

Does secular society still believe in original sin?
One of the funniest things about modern secular culture is that it absolutely still believes in original sin. It just refuses to call it that because theological language makes educated people uncomfortable. Listen to how modern institutions describe human beings. We are governed by unconscious bias, shaped by childhood conditioning, manipulated by algorithms, trapped in dopamine loops, distorted by social incentives, blinded by ideology, and mostly incapable of seeing our own motivations…

Is simulation theory just theism with extra steps?
One of the funniest intellectual developments of the last decade is watching aggressively secular people reinvent religion using computer terminology and then acting like this makes the idea more rational. Simulation theory is the clearest example. The basic concept is familiar by now, but I'll summarize: our universe might be an artificial simulation created by a vastly more advanced intelligence. Reality is likely programmed. Consciousness could exist inside a designed system. The laws of…

Why does Silicon Valley talk about death like it's a software bug?
One of the clearest signs that modern secular elite culture is uneasy about death is how Silicon Valley talks about it. The human body is treated like legacy hardware waiting for an upgrade. In place of acceptance, you get optimization: longevity startups, cryonics, extreme biohacking, and constant speculation about whether enough computation and biotech might eventually defeat death itself. Tech billionaires talk with pride about potentially transferring their consciousness to a computer, as…
