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

Oh, I see, interesting! Yes, I can see how you could interpret it that way. But my understanding is that generally the system you adopt at stage 4 is one that is publicly available.

Stage 4 does give you more control, because you do take beliefs and emotions as object, rather than subject. However, your self (subject) is structured by principles you take over from your culture; you can’t construct those from scratch.
