Learning how to get in tune with your field of energy and understand how to create your energy, expand that energy, and move that energy through your body.

Before the Second World War I believed in the perfectibility of social man; that a correct structure of society would produce goodwill; and that therefore you could remove all social ills by a reorganisation of society. .... but after the war I did not because I was unable to.
