If you're in such a position of power and your ego is such that this is not possible, then its essential to have a small cadre of very bright, committed people who are questioning, exploring and understanding these emerging concepts.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The questions which one asks oneself begin, at least, to illuminate the world, and become one's key to the experience of others.
Well, I have an interest in power. I have an interest in people who find themselves in the position to exercise absolute power.
I always say I have a Socratic approach to most things that I do. I pummel people with questions, because I need to know what they're thinking, what they're trying to achieve, what they believe the final outcome is going to be.
You must engage at the level of people's higher order values, and in doing so, you can engage them in a meaningful way on a large number of issues.
To achieve, you need thought. You have to know what you are doing and that's real power.
Seriously. I'm not very bright, and it takes a lot for me to get a concept - to really get a concept. To get it enough that it becomes part of me. But when it happens I get real excited about it.
The difficulties which I meet with in order to realize my existence are precisely what awaken and mobilize my activities, my capacities.
I'm beyond the point of thinking I'm powerful enough to solve my own problems.
Once you have power, you are inevitably surrounded by people who have their own agendas and will tell you whatever advances them.
It's challenging to take on something else that is not you and make it very real and have others be able to associate with it. It's wonderful to provoke thought.
