These Tools Are Indispensable
The lack of the theory and techniques of getting our heads out of the “crud” has been just devastating to all past revolutionaries or wide world changers [people working for social change]. The tension of struggle is extreme. I would have been dead many years ago if I hadn’t stumbled upon RC. Too much had happened. I’d been beaten up and shot at and threatened too much, and only discharge saved me. Discharge not only saved me and kept me alive, but I think better every year. I’m smarter this year than I was last year, and much smarter than I was a couple of years ago.
These tools are indispensable. . . . They need to be in the hands of every wide world changer [social change activist], whether they know it yet or not. . . . There’s nothing automatic. . . . Listen a lot, and don’t talk counseling. Be a counselor.
