Hi everyone. I had a pretty intense dream 2 nights ago night and I wanted to share it here and ask for your feedback, insights and thoughts and anything else about it. The version I pasted below is mostly an unedited text version of the dream that I typed out at around 4 o'clock pm the day after...

Hi Folks, I am fairly new to the forums. Have been listening to Stefan for a few months now. I was very intrigued by the way in which he has explained the situation of tyranny and the way to achieve freedom by virtue of an intellectual revolution. The thing that always bothers me is the way in which...
