Thiel’s attraction to secrets comes from a conservative writer named Leo Strauss. His writing was obscure because he hid truths behind a curtain of mystery. That way, they would only be shared with a small, select group of people. Make no mistake. Even today, forbidden truths are exchanged in closed forums, private conferences, and corner offices...

One way to ensure that you’re using your creative power ethically borrows an entrepreneur’s standard technique by subjecting every decision to a checklist of conditions.

• Due to my own exhausting skepticism, I am still not entirely sure what my relationship to God and prayer is. But my nightly reviews have increasingly been accompanied with the wish that “Thy will be done.” I have zero confidence that I have sufficient self-knowledge to manifest exactly the right path for myself, and the more I’ve leaned into surrendering control the better my life has gotten.

He concluded his masterclass with fifteen steps on the path to making the transition from fear to integrity. This helps shift you from the black magic of “my will be done,” to the more subtle miracles of “Thy will be done.” If love is one of the most powerful forces in the Universe, coming into ever greater integrity with it will enhance the creative potential of your thoughts.
• Your job is to find the place you're out of integrity and align so that you can continue to be like a larger and larger conduit of this wildly loving, fantastically intelligent consciousness that ultimately we all are.

If you're confused by that statement, might I suggest the classic pitch analogy of "Uber for X". The constant barrage of laundry pickup services, food delivery, snack delivery, taking a typical chore and... See more
