technical proficiency

Besides detaching you from the addictions and dependencies of the modern world, the master must be proficient. The tools the average person has at their disposal in the Devil's Buffet called "america" is huge. If you don't master them, they will master YOU.

There are several arenas, all of them require LEVEL 40 and above expertise:

• Radio engineering
• Electrical engineering
• Computer engineering
• Software engineering
• Mechanical engineering
• Audio and recording engineering
• Television and video engineering
• Network architecture and engineering
• Political science
• Urban planning and architecture
• Economics
• Holistic health
• Gourmet healthy chefs (raw food cuisine, vegan)
• Education and Pedagogy

These are all MAJOR areas of personal development for the above-average intelligence or above-average passion to develop into mastery and power. Otherwise you WILL be sucking the dong of the power-that-be who/that created the problems we have today.

The general populace calls you "NERD". Fine. But be sure to keep watch that you don't go past the line into unhealthy obsessions ("dweeb"). Yeah, like collecting novelty dolls.

Oh, and if you're a computer programmer, find the OneTruePath over at the wikiwikiweb.
