Episode notes
Throne Room of the Spirit
- Everyone has a dominant power (will, intellect, or affection).
- These powers interact internally like a "throne room," with a leader, partner, and subject power.
Internal vs. External Standards
- Individuals have internal or external standards for their dominant power.
- Internal standards create "rebels," while external standards create "dutiful" individuals.
Monuments to Murdered Prophets
- Jesus's statement about building monuments to murdered prophets illustrates how internal standards become community standards.
- Initially rejected, these innovators' ideas are later adopted and upheld by the same community.
