Section 11 of Chapter 1:

Interpretation and Power

    As soon as somebody take the role of the one who judge how some so called "holy" text has to be interpreted, then in this very moment he/she become POWER over those who accept his/her role. And of course he/she will be careful of not losing this power, thus will avoid any discussion. In this way the followers learn of NOT using their brain, but just be "followers". Unfortunately this attitude save energy (brain not working) and thus is welcome and accepted by so many (too many) people. This lazyness is the result of the survival strategy of our body, which try always to save energy, especially in a stress situation.
    I made experience of this beahviour in myself by stress situations when climbing a roc wall in the mountains or having to make an emergency landing while piloting a glider. But I also saw this behaviour when taking exams at the university: when asked a question the pupils did at first search in their memory for some similar question of which they knew the answer. Of course this was seldom the case, so they were obliged to think, i.e. let their brain work and thus use energy.
