Sure! I am dead serious. The last thing I needed to hear when I was in the "enlightenment" stage was somebody coming at me with race or culture. When I was struggling with the meanings of these words (race, ethnicity, gender, etc.) I wasn't trying to hear anything else. Then I stopped seeing a certain way and I became more aware of the energy around me and the influence of certain ways of thinking (not just Western, either). I like some of the things Zukav has to say about fear and power. Thus, I included it in this discussion.
Carry on! :)
