Waves wash over you, full of Doubts and hopes from mind and heart that drag and pull you, Each its own story to tell. Let them go, let them pass. Like the leaves on a wintry tree, Like the cocoon that would cling to an ordinary caterpillar, Like snow on a summer’s mountain top. For […]

There are four states of consciousness, according to the Fourth Way. The fourth state is rarely achieved by people in their lifetime. Some conscious beings have reported moments of the fourth state as a life-changing experience. It is in your grasp.
