made because just one person dared to imagine the impossible and then proceeded to take the actions necessary against all odds and obstacles to make the picture a reality. What this book asks of you is to imagine a world driven by the energy of love instead of hatred, violence and greed; to make the world a better place for all people everywhere.
We can have a world of peace, a world where abject poverty, human atrocities and wilful destruction of our planet is relegated to the history books. It may not happen in our generation or the next or even the next, but it can be done one person at a time by changing the Human Energy Net.
Be clear from the outset that the principals outlined here will not make you rich, successful or give you a perfect life, although they will improve the quality of your life. This book is not about achieving perfection. It is about understanding the dynamics of human interaction and how to train our thoughts and emotions to effect a more positive outcome that ultimately affects the world.
In the Babemba tribe of South Africa, when a person acts irresponsibly or unjustly, he or she is placed in the center of the village, alone and unfettered. All work ceases and every man, woman and child in the village gathers in a large circle around the accused individual. Then each person in the tribe speaks to the accused, one at a time, about all the good things the person in the center has done in his lifetime. Every incident, every experience that can be recalled with any detail and accuracy is recounted. All his positive attributes, good deeds, strengths and kindnesses are recited carefully and at length. The tribal ceremony often lasts several days. At the end the tribal circle is broken, a joyous celebration takes place and the person is symbolically and literally welcomed back into the tribe.
