Higher Forces as ‘Dianoia’

A man can activate–by the divine grace of Influence C– his conscious development. He can eliminate the superfluous to transform his potential, pass unscathed through corruption, heal himself, grow, and be reborn.

The Search for Meaning

It is surprising how personal spirituality is. It can’t be proven because it exists in the heart of the seeker. During our lives, we collect odd moments of heightened experience that seem to exist outside of normal time. The Fourth Way indicates that these moments collect to form a magnetic center, a spiritual center of […]

What role do higher forces play in our lives?

Probably the main aim of higher forces is to lead a soul to the Creator. And the aim of humanity is to learn to hear, to recognize the signs of higher forces and not give up.

Freedom from one’s own physical existence and actions is […]

Man is a microcosmos because, like the universe, he has within him layers of realities. What this means is that man’s inner life […]
