Today, I’m going to talk about the magic of conversation. Ideology, in itself, is worthless if we cannot communicate it. The hard part here is that lots of people like to think their ideology is the only ideology that works. As long as people think like that, it will be hard to affect change. Open minds are the only place where change will be made.

If you can open your mind to acceptance(we battled this one already, remember?), and speak amicably with each other about what you have learned, and what you have taught, we can start to make progress as a society.

Talk to people. Lots of people. Every chance you get, engage someone in conversation. We’ve become a civilization of isolation. Do you think these attitudes and behaviors would have succeeded in tribal times? No, of course not. But, that was before we forgot about magic.

Reexamining the Self

The patterns in which we think are so important. There are answers in patterns. If you change what you think can you change your life? It’s almost impossible to say really. I could drone on about the power of positive thought and other such cliches, but I won’t. The fact is that we don’t know, and we can’t know, until we try. Take a long, close look at your thought patterns. Could there be a problem or a trend there that you are missing?

Patterns are important in many other ways too. Look beyond just your thoughts. Can you see patterns in your life? The lives of those around you? Are these patterns healthy or damaging?
