If we are getting into ancient Sanskrit words (trend du jour?), wouldn’t “satsang” (the collective search for the highest truth) be closer to what we seek in this group?  While now adopted by more yoga types to be used as a word for a gathering of yogis who collectively search for the ultimate truth, it’s original meaning is a concatenation of sat = true, sanga = company.  Funny how scientists and hippies are both seeking the same thing.  Life must be great!
