I worry that we are mired in step one. Bickering about the details is hampering us, I think. The issues we tackle and the situation we face are so confusing and scary that is seems to me we're neglecting step two because we're overwhelmed by step one.

I'm thinking that maybe we should accept general concepts about the deception we've been subjected to, not spend time on a detailed analysis, and get on with doing something to make a difference!
In my opinion you are right on here. So much so it has been the focus of my talks as of late. Finding many people who are locking onto one belief or system of beliefs and end their search with the first thing that resonates with them. Dig deeply into the material, and use it to argue with others. Individuals I find doing so I ask: "Are you not defeating your our purpose?" Most answer yes, and we can only hope they remain open minded in the future.

Any time I feel I have it all figured out, I find something else to dig into. Often looking for things that shake up my current beliefs at the time. I find this helps myself and others progress, and suggest others try the same to see if it works for them.

Step one is now clearly defined. Step two is where the true wonder of our potential will need be revealed.

In light, of love
