Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man.  For him all doors are flung wide: him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire.  Our love goes out to him and embraces him, because he did not need it.

I certainly hope not. One of you is quite enough.

Can a person proclaim themselves to be 'on the path'

"A path is only a path. They all lead into the bush and back out again. And in the end, all paths meet. And the only important thing about any path is, does this path have a heart."

More Castaneda for you Swami.:D

I don't believe that there is necessarily a 'path' at all.  To believe in a path is to arrogantly assume that your way of spiritual advancement is the correct path to follow, while devaluing the choices made by others.  There is one important lesson that I have learned and that is to question the words made by someone who believes that they have all the answers.

There is one thing I have recently learned and that is what it is truly look upon people without judgement, before I considered it important for everyone to hold the values of open-mindedness, kindness and a concern for the world around them.  I believed that a man should be able to live his life however he wished as long as he followed these universal laws (or what I considered noble traits).  Recently I discovered it was not my place to look down upon anyone who would act in what I would percieve as a negative way, the liar, the cheat, the criminal, it is not my place to judge them for these things are all relative to us.  The experiences I have learnt in MY life tell are the basis for what I perceive to be correct, these are not necesarilly what is best for others.  And while it is very hard to live in a world of hatred, anger and fear I cannot judge others for this, nor should I seperate myself mentally from the rest of humankind.
