Like the Mantra, this notion that nonwhites have a fundamentally different self (soul, feeling, and basic perspective) is one hell of a dangerous idea. In reality, it is just a different way of talking about race, but an extraordinarily effective one.

I measure the worth of what I read if I remember it in an enduring fashion. This is an idea I will not forget. That means it is a very powerful idea.

Ideas like this get out, watch out, because the world is likely to get transformed overnight.

The generation of ideas that stick (that are truly powerful) is the main value of this seminar. For example, I just can’t get “Mark’s Brilliant Line” out of my head. (“Those who own the present own the Future. Those who own the present NEVER have any serious relationship to what is really going to happen.”)

It is such a powerful perspective because it alludes to how people regularly assume their beliefs are determinative of outcomes, while in fact they never are.

The real chain of causality is rarely apprehended, which is why commitment to the never-ending examination of subsurface assumptions and basics is so critical.
