"Some people feel the world is absolutely out of control, feel powerless to do anything about it. These principles remind us that we are part of all that we see. The world around us is nothing more and nothing less than a reflection of what we have become from within. And in the language of those who've come before us, we are reminded that we must become the very things that we choose to experience in life. We must become the peace and the healing, cooperation, compassion, the love, the nurturing we choose to experience in our lives . We must become those very things, so that the "field" has something to mirror back to us. And in that way, we each are given the guidelines hopefully to help us become better people. As we become better people in that way, we'll build a better world."
