Back in 1986 there was a seminar series, lead by no other than Werner Erhard.
I was brand new, but I was allowed to sign up. The topic was: “I have something to say in the matter”.
At the time my level of understanding was that I can change what I do, I can protest to what other people do… I did not understand that you can say something in the matter of everything that belongs to you.
Everything that belongs to you… out of which the most potent is your being. Who are you in the matter of X.
So, how does this being expresses itself, really?
