"...our battles must also demonstrate how the technology can expand
everyone's art, story, image, and truth into a multitude of endless
possibilities... To accomplish all of this involves self-discipline. In
essence, ritual and expression through the arts help pull everyone into
the rhythms of the universe, into the inner workings of all nature,
from the minute to the most massive aspects, from the DNA imprint in our
genes to the massive whorl of galaxies. Once we tap into the
interacting push and pull of complementary energies, we begin to put
ourselves in accord with the world, into the timeless patterns and root
formulas that ignite all life, and thus restore the power within each of
us to better such a world."
