In many fairy tales, there lives a terrible beast of stupendous power, a dragon or a basilisk, which tyrannizes the surrounding lands. The local villagers tremble before this monster; they sacrifice... More > their animals, pay money and blood in the hopes of appeasing its murderous impulses.
Year after year, decade after decade, wave after wave of hopeful champions try to match their strength, virtue and cunning against this terrible tyrant.
Try – and fail.
Inevitably, a man steps forward who strikes everyone as utterly incongruous. He is a stable boy, a shoemaker’s son, a baker’s apprentice – or sometimes, just a vagabond.
This book is the story of my personal assault on just such a beast.

This “beast” is the illusion that morality must forever be lost in the irrational swamps of gods and governments, forever lacking logical justification and clear definition...< Less

Over Waarheid daagt u uit om al uw intieme en persoonlijke relaties te onderzoeken aan de hand van essentiele grondbeginselen. Dat zal er toe leiden gelukkiger te worden en echte liefde te ervaren en... More > te ontsnappen aan niet verkozen valse verplichtingen die ons een gelukkiger leven beletten.
De mens zoekt het goede maar velen van ons zijn vanaf onze jeugd geconditioneerd met corrupte moraal om autoritaire willekeur te eren. Als geluk en vreugde te bereiken zijn door het goede te kennen en ernaar te handelen, dan is die conditionering de oorzaak van ons lijden. Hele generaties kinderen groeiden op met het idee dat enkel het feit geboren te zijn verplichtingen creeerd. Dat is geheel onjuist en een van de meest destructieve mythen van de mensheid. De weg naar echte vreugde en liefde is de waarheid te kennen en in waarheid te leven. Over Waarheid wijst u de weg.< Less
Hey - seriously - congratulations on your new political post!
If you are reading this, it means that you have ascended to the highest levels of government, so it's really, really important that you... More > don't do or say anything stupid, and screw things up for the rest of us.
The first thing to remember is that you are a figurehead, about as relevant to the direction of the state as a hood ornament is to the direction of a car -- but you are a very important distraction, the "smiling face" of the fist of power. So hold your nose, kiss the babies, and just think how good you would look on a stamp.
Now, before we go into your media responsibilities, you must understand the true history of political power, so you don't accidentally act on the naive idealism you are required to project to the general public.
