..... you were a person who had all of the following beliefs operating simultaneously. I momentarily imagined what my experience would be like if I were to have all of these beliefs.

While I have some sense of what my experience would probably be like, I would like to seek inputs from others regarding what their experience would be like if they were to imagine having all these beliefs.

a) If someone does not communicate something directly and bluntly, they have not communicated it at all. Metaphors and analogies do not count for any communication.

b) If people are not from the same area as you (whether a physical geographical location or whether a logical subject matter) - then there is know way they can know anything about that area.

c) If, in your opinion, people do not know as much about a subject matter as you - you consider it as a folly that needs to be forgiven (as in - forgive them o Lord, for they know not they have sinned)

d) If people want to find out more about something that you state as an authority, then you consider it as a challenge and then you do not want to have anything to do with that person anymore.

If you experienced all those at the same time, you'd be my Uncle Len.

Just black!

I've met several people who appear to believe just that. It seems like a very lonely place to be

Hi Steven,

That was exactly my experience when I assumed to take on these beliefs. And it was quite frightening in the sense that not only was it very lonely, it was also filled with guilt and remorse. Well of course, different people will experience this differently and that is what makes each one of us unique.

you'd be ruling the world in no time!

I met quite a few of these people today while on a sales promotion!

The majority of the people who *really* run the world probably do believe those things. Those beliefs would allow you to step on anyone to achieve your goals. It would be quite liberating in one sense but incredibly restrictive in many others.

Those people are perfectly suited to gaining power, though what usually happens is they lose it again straight away. When they don't, we get the big, ruthless coorporations and governments etc.

They are also perfectly suited to being miserable no matter how much wealth and power they gain.
