00:00Thinking that a rock can weave magic is superstition,
00:04but thinking that a new job can do magic for you is not superstition.
00:08The latter is even more vicious superstition,
00:12because it is difficult to call it out and remove it.
00:17Just do not think that by being well-educated or well-read or thoughtful,
00:23you have liberated yourself of superstition.
00:26Most people live in all kinds of superstition because they have no self-knowledge.
00:30If something is outside of you, you can easily wipe it away.
00:34When the thing is inside of you, it requires courage to pluck it out.
