Is there a hermetic endgame in Buddhist traditions, where they secretly fix the student's epistemology and truth criteria (~Kegan 4), after they deliberately kept the student at Kegan 3 to use authority for fixing the student's motivational structure (~Kegan 5)? @Meaningness
In other words, even the most evolved adherents of mainstream Buddhism will not have agency over the contents of their beliefs (i.e. need to skip parts of what is roughly Kegan's stage 4)?

Stage 4, if I understand Kegan correctly, just means you have a system. Any system. It can be completely bogus. The Buddhist systems are completely bogus, imo.

Perhaps I don't understand Kegan correctly, but imho stage 4 marks the departure from externally assimilated beliefs to internally constructed ones, and that necessary involves the exploration of the criteria for valid beliefs? (Not that I want to discuss Kegan exegetics here.)
