Dear Theta,

What I am trying to do is to look at RAW from a different angle---to think about RAW.

You are quite right Theta, our conventional wisdom is PERSONAL GROWTH and a step along the way is RAW.

So why is PERSONAL GROWTH our conventional wisdom?

The Personal Growth Movement arose in the United States of America. The first Personal Growth Centre was Esalen at Big Sur, California and is still operating today.

Personal Growth finds its roots in Protestant Capitalism and Theosophy.

Personal Growth, as part of the History of Ideas is limited in time and space. We are not so limited by time and space.

We all want to be good and that is why we follow the conventional wisdom. And that is why we use personal growth as a trumph card.

What happens when we stop playing cards?

Victor.
