The principles of Consultation are the one aspect that the rest of the world has yet to copy.

There are spiritual principles, or what some call human values, by which solutions can be found for every social problem.

Any well-intentioned group can in a general sense devise practical solutions to its problems, but good intentions and practical

knowledge are usually not enough. The essential merit of spiritual principle is that it not only presents a perspective which harmonizes with that which is immanent in human nature, it also induces an attitude, a dynamic, a will, an aspiration,

which facilitate the discovery and implementation of practical measures.

Leaders of governments and all in authority would be well served in their efforts to solve problems if they would first seek to identify the

principles involved and then be guided by them. (PWP, p. 2)
