One of the various methods available to expose and deconstruct one's external influences was hinted at in the previous section and consists of successive iterations of remixing and collage. As discussed previously, one's self can be seen as a bricolage⁵⁶, an assemblage of various memes. The result of this perception is that one is able then to begin evolving the idea of the self. The self is no longer seen as a singular unit, but rather as a community of interrelated entities perpetually sorting, mixing, selecting, and arranging stimuli into a composite that our conscious mind interprets as reality.

This ongoing, internal cut-up process continues to provide fresh and innovative ideas that the conscious self is often compelled to share with other individuals, which they then internalize and route through the same processes. Taking this process out of the pre-conscious awareness and consciously deciding to create a collage, or to manipulate samples, or to cut-up text, is an act of revealing one's preconscious influences. Collage will bring to conscious awareness the subliminal influences that are acting upon your decision-making processes in a way that acts both quickly and accurately

On the opposite side of the spectrum, you can accelerate personal evolution by joining and participating in a community of meme sharers and engaging in the iterative process of collating, manipulating, and sharing memes within that group. As said previously, it's important to be conscious of what kind of groups you are associated with, and to assess the validity of the information that the group champions, the memes the group disseminates, and how the group's goals dovetail with your own long-term goals⁵⁷. We've already discussed the importance of finding others to work with by outlining the mastermind group, but haven't yet spoken specifically to the experience on an individual of joining such a group. Most importantly, you need to know who you are and what you bring to the group.
