No greater good can come to any man or woman than to become self-active. All the experiences of life are designed by The Source to force men and women into self-activity; to compel them to cease being creatures of circumstances and master their environment.

In our lowest stage, we are the children of chance and circumstance and the slave of fear. Our acts are all reactions resulting from the impingement upon us of forces in our environment. We act only as we are acted upon; we originate nothing. But even at our lowest stage have within us a Principle of Power sufficient to master all that we fear; and if we learn this and becomes self-active, we become as one of the gods.
