A Bold Declaration
"Transformation is 100% attitudinal."
This clear statement sets the stage for Gold's methodical exploration of how we can verify our actual state of consciousness, rather than relying on assumptions or wishful thinking.

- Why traditional self-observation often leads nowhere

Beyond Theory
What makes this paper particularly valuable is its practical approach to verification.

His description of the "terror of the situation"—the moment we truly recognize our mechanical nature—offers a sobering but necessary wake-up call.
