"Управлението започва в ума. Когато умът владее самия себе си, той може да управлява всичко. Човешкият живот е комбинация от реално и абстрактно. Нашето тяло е реално, а умът ни - абстрактен.

Човешкият живот е структуриран точно като атом. В центъра на атома е протонът, а около него има поле от отрицателно заредени частици.
