     it is necessary to create tension in the mind, so individual can rise from bondage of myths and half-truths, so must we create that kind of tension in society that will help men rise [from] the dark depth of ..., 
     so if you look at Dr. King practice as a leader ...
     ([ the vision or the message is Freedom ])
     the context is about race and racial equality
     his core vision is what it means for human being to be free
     inspire by Gandhi, we must dramatize the current reality
     engaging the system, to see how the system was working 
     protest march, marches, demonstration, and whole non-violent changed approach
     to dramatize the current situation
     their job was to make it visible
     the context of the dream, 
     this is not a new idea, 
     without the vision, nothing happen
     without being in touch with current reality, nothing happen
     people who are deeply in touch with reality, brilliant analyst
     they are not visionary, they are analyst
     [Robert] Fritz 
        creative tension
        the energy in the creative process comes from this gap
     ([ the gap between the articulated vision and the truth; truth meaning reality or synthesis/analysis as a way of getting an optic to situation, in  hand, on the ground. ])
        how do you generate this gap
        well, obviously when you start to articulate the vision, you generate that energy, but just as much you start to see more clearly the current reality, 
        there are two fundamental ways to generate creative tension, one is by articulating and getting committed to a vision, the other is getting clearer about 'What IS'
        two sources of creative tension are aspiration and the truth
     this is why the truth, being honest, being able to talk openly, how things really are,  
     creative tension
         the power of vision
         the power of truth
         they are both essential in the larger sense
     and consequently there is greater tension
