No Michael, just good intuitions and common sense
this threat is supposed to be about action, but it's merely about words (even words for colours). Words people hear from lama's and read in books. One acts with ones body, not with ones intentions or imagination, otherwise those lama's would have to flee from Tibet. There imagination was a lot stronger then Mao's. This maybe materialistic, but it's a simple truth. One even cannot read or have intentions without a nervous system.
