Back from the sublime to the ridiculous, from enlightenment to caveats. So much has to be said to qualify this list. It is tentative and its order is slithery. Every item has exceptions that can move it up or down the order of leverage. Having had the list percolating in my subconscious for years has not transformed me into a Superwoman. **The higher the leverage point, the more the system will resist changing it**--that's why societies tend to rub out truly enlightened beings.
**Magical leverage points are not easily accessible, even if we know where they are and which direction to push on them.** There are no cheap tickets to **Mastery**. You have to work at it, whether that means rigorously analyzing a system or rigorously casting off your own paradigms and throwing yourself into the **humility of Not Knowing**. In the end, it seems that power has less to do with pushing leverage points than it does with **strategically, profoundly, madly letting go**.
