#1 The non-heroic path seeks change by enabling people to transform themselves. When we choose this path, we function like a helpful virus, one that fosters the vitality and immune system of the host while at the same time protecting against harmful viruses.

#2 When we are in this situation, we become victims of our own lack of perspective. We can see the merits of our own point of view, but we struggle to understand and accept the merits of the opposition’s.

#3 Levels of engagement are the different levels of performance that athletes develop over time. They shift to a new level of performance, as well as a new scope with which they consider their performance, as they mature.

#4 The Levels of Paradigm framework is a tool that can be used to understand the different levels of paradigms and the implications of these levels on the quality of the effects that flow from our choices and actions.
