How to move over
- 1Name it without shame: today you were standing on naive.
- 2Say the law once — The Law of Pursuit — and bow to it. That bow is obeisance.
- 3Do one small thing only canny would do, inside the next hour.
- 4Put on the robe: carry Obsidian for the rest of the day as the sign you switched sides.
The switch of the whole day
- — Ask one question you are slightly afraid of the answer to.
- — Follow it two steps further than is comfortable.
- — Write what you found before you lose it.
