Conscious guides create a practical school of truth for people who need it. It is protected by divine grace. The work of such a school is the expansion of human consciousness.

With individual and collective strength, the people of a school of truth work to discover and even transform their being on all levels. The school’s work rhythm follows the rhythm of the universe, in octaves, with pauses.

To realize the positive and negative parts of our four lower centers, we set small goals to fulfill in a sequence of steps and two pauses. I notice that, in the impending inertia or pause, other forces intervene. These shocks show me that I must not deviate from my original purpose.

With self-observation, my clarity changes. A light of consciousness runs through some parts of my being. It slows down as a lively stillness and spreads out again.

The Fourth Way system of awakening includes classical and scientific knowledge and specific practices for our emotional center to open. It is an exciting, fast, and practical itinerary for individual and collective becoming.

I admit that I have also walked on another path, that of the fakir. It was like I was stepping on nails, representing somebody who was transcending all pain.

I recognize that I have also been on the path of the monk, the religious way, when my mind and body were cowed by beliefs that did not emit ‘positive emotion.’

I realize that I have also lived on the path of the yogi, when my mind and heart were not very strong or capable of withstanding dependencies.

Studying the Fourth Way , I realize the value of an aspect in our lower emotional center that we can call the ‘nine of hearts.’

After meticulous training, this part of our emotional center begins to open and operate with its proper speed. Its quality, together with the quality of our trained inner steward, is capable of imposing and maintaining harmonious synergy across our lower centers (emotional, instinctive, moving, and intellectual), for as long as necessary.

We utilize the tools of the Fourth Way of awakening with the help of a practical school of truth. In this process, we  transform our being, and our clarity expands. We become able to gratefully accept our essence. Then, living in essence, we are free from fear. As well, our essence receives flashes from the two eternally-active higher centers running in our being, the higher emotional and the higher intellectual center.

Refining the essence of our spirit gives our being new created light. 

Becoming aware of our inner transformation, our new being attaches to its axis again, as a lively stillness. We remain unharmed and consciously dependent, exclusively and solely, on the grace of God, Uncreated Light.
