I think what this says is, If you have a deep sense of ethics, permaculture 
may come naturally to you, especially if, like Sepp, you think in whole 
systems.  If you have poor ethics, you will have trouble understanding 
permaculture, and will claim that you are using it when others can see you 
are not.
