But if we are of good intent, how can we sometimes end up involved in the most reprehensible of actions? Seth faces such questions squarely, and deals with the motivations of both the fanatic and the idealist. And people are idealistic.

In this book Seth clearly shows how each of us can contribute to the mass reality, and concisely outlines the issues so that we don’t fall prey to disillusionment or fanaticism.
