excited I am. I've been planning this all week. In fact there's so much material to

cover that we're going to need an extra episode. We're still going to be

busy laying the foundation here in part two.

The practical stuff will come towards the end.

I promise it's going to be worthwhile to really lay a deep foundation here,

is not a tangent from self-actualization.

This will help you to understand yourself and people.

In fact, what we're talking about when we're talking about government
