Steven Pressfield

Yes.

Yes.

I don't see too much of floating around in our policy these days.

That's a great one.

The journey we're all on.

is a hero's journey.

And when we stop becoming just passive victims of our life and actually take our life into our own hands, then we stop being a character in a story and we become the hero of the story.

And we all, I think, have to do that.

That's Telemann's Odyssey for sure.

What about the word love, Stephen?

Love is the essence of the universe, I believe.

And I certainly believe that when we pass beyond this life, if there is another dimension, that that's what it is made of entirely.

And if we can live our lives in this material world, according to the rules of that world, then we've really become enlightened individuals.

hard to do right yes really hard to do who can do it why why is it so hard to do because we're in this body you know the ego it's the material world i mean there's so few people that have done it you know jesus or i've always thought of the 300 spartans as kind of the thermopoly

As the collective version of Jesus, in the sense that they knew they were going to die, just like he did, for the greater good.

And they accepted it and they went to their deaths that way as a group.

It's amazing.

It's amazing.

All right.

What about war, sir?
