EP  10         Take for example our most valued exercise, that of daily introspection. If we dedicate ourselves to introspection

- and I mean all of us - we will see with ever-increasing clarity when we are acting out of self-interest (causing harm to ourselves and others) and when we are guided by vir­tue and principle. Other exercises aid in the effort of identifying destructive elementals within our personality, and slowly replacing them with life-giving elementals.
