In my herbalism studies, I keep coming back to the idea that I am okay using these herbs on myself, and sharing knowledge but I don't want to become anyone's doctor. As soon as I do that, I'm making them a patient. I feel like this is incipient hierarchy, just as if I tried to pass any spiritual epiphanies I might have had on to someone else as if I had some secret knowledge inaccessible to them. The two go together and it seems like this is the sort of wrong turn that could lead to religion.
