In this episode, the Eyres focus on the flawed concept of personal independence, pointing out that, in truth, we are all completely interdependent on each other and dependent on God. "Independence" is the third deceiver, along with "control" and "ownership," that rob us of happiness; and Richard and Linda's new word "Synergicity" (a combination of "synergy" and "synchronicity") is the alternative spiritual attitude and the antidote.
