Well, that's what I was getting at. There ARE no groups. We're all just
human beings. It is not he or she or them or it that you belong to. And if
you can accept the attendant exhilarating liberation (as well as bracing
yourself for the suspicious terror when you realize that others want you
dead simply because you have the obvious strength it takes to already live
in the kingdom within) that comes with that perspective, then you get an
idea of exactly what every spiritual leader has ever tried to say. I.E.
Start your own revolution and cut out the middle man.
