While I haven't read the ...Excellent Review!!<br /> <br />While I haven't read the book, these are principles that could just as easily be applied to the individual or the self as well.<br /> <br />I disagree with your stage 5 interpretation, and while I have been wrong in the past, here is my take. The entity in trouble really needs more HELP than cash. That is focusing on one possible (and perhaps far from the best)solution and not the real problem. By no means does CASH always fix any problem and may be the worst pick<br />of the available options. As the fine folks at Passages Malibu say, "Part of any entities real problem may be that their belief system simply does not align with reality, although the entity will strongly posture that THEY do indeed "KNOW" that it does". This is called "denial is not a river in Egypt" complex.<br /> <br />"the leaders are exhausted and dispirited" and apt to make the wrong interpretation of the situation and decision on the best handling of same. Getting help from the outside can often give a fresh, spirited, and better perspective/solution.<br /> <br />Consider, "Dr, Dr it hurts when I do that" Dr 1: "As an expert<br />on this problem, this is obviously blah and my solution is the only way to fix it, requiring lots of time, money and no guarantee of cure". Fresh perspective doctor2:<br />"Oh.........Then don't do that. Next problem."<br /> <br />From my perspective, it reads alot like a preamble to addiction<br />and as you said, possible Death. What the person or entity needs is help to a way back that they can't see or believe themselves.<br /> <br />-Doc (-Mike. )mgreim001https://www.blogger.com/profile/01722149637720237124noreply@blogger.com
