I started my presentation by speaking to conditioning, the conditioned mind, and so the first thing we really have to address and that we are addressing is dependency. What you're speaking to is dependency.
When we look at oppression, dependency is going to be one of the biggest issues that we have to deal with, and that's what we are.... If we look to see cultural protocol, it exists in all of our communities.
As far as capacity goes, it's there. Our biggest challenge is letting go of internalized oppression.
