All things are created twice, but not all first creations are by conscious design. In our personal lives, if we do not develop our own self-awareness and become responsible for first creations, we empower other people and circumstances outside our Circle of Influence to shape much of our lives by default.

But the use of 'natural' as a synonym for 'good' is almost certainly a product of our profound alienation from the natural world.
