Why Narcissism?
As strange and empty as narcissism can be, why is anyone ever a narcissist? What would lead someone to that attitude? Over blown success? We need to make up a story to rationalize the success? Let’s hypothesize for a moment, look at things from a theoretical, completely objective point of view. Looked at objectively, what…

Reclaiming Personal Intention
So even just based on this talk, it seems to illustrate how challenging reclaiming personal intention would be for us even as small groups let alone world wide. Does it not? Yes. I find myself at a loss. Why does the idea seem so unimaginable? Perhaps an example to illustrate the question. If I try…
This also seems descriptive for a type 3 indigo. I do have many of these traits that alternate but know…
