Excerpt from Road Map to Power: Bob

Image
This book is written for people whom society labels as average and refuses to consider as elite. They have neither the family fortune nor the biological endowment that would enable them to achieve power as it is modernly defined. This group constitutes the overwhelming majority of any community.

By the same token, things that seem to me to have no spiritual relevance will not be included, whether they reflect flatteringly on me or not.
