As we journey inward, we will lose and find truth, fall and rise again. The key is to remain sincere in our efforts and focused on our intent: Being. By seeking deeper meaning in existence and aligning with our Essence, we can awaken to a life filled with purpose, purpose and fulfillment, a life that transcends the ordinary and touches the extraordinary, and this is potentially accessible to each of us.
True transformation often comes with challenges. In some traditional schools, students had to endure years of silence or perform seemingly menial tasks. These practices were not meant to humiliate, but to confront vanity, arrogance and pride, prompting the student to reflect deeply on their own inner state.
Many ancient traditions, including the Gospels, speak of Awakening as a prerequisite for transformation. Terms such as “watch,” “be alert,” or “stay awake” symbolize the need for a broader awareness. But how can we truly wake up?
We never tire of repeating it: the journey within yourself begins with the observation of your thoughts. Observing with honesty and clarity allows you to see what enslaves you and needs to be transformed. This is not a harsh judgment, but a healthy self-criticism, recognizing parts of yourself that hold you back in the so-called comfort zone that, as soon as you open your eyes, you realize that this zone is not so comfortable, on the contrary.
Self-observation requires a system and therefore requires a mentor, an educator, an impersonal guide who in turn has practiced and learned the art of Being.
Transformation does require reversing the vision of one’s Reality, allowing the Essence to master one’s life in the service of one’s Self, the Being.
This change is gradual and forces us to face the uncomfortable truth that we may ultimately realize: that we are not who we have always imagined ourselves to be. This shock is a clear sign of Awakening.
Authentic teaching – transmitted by those who have already awakened – is therefore essential. These teachings are not arbitrary inventions, but millenary maps carefully designed by Initiatory Science for those who are ready to undertake the journey of Consxiousness. Finding such teachings may not be easy, but the search itself motivates us, ignites enthusiasm, roughs us out and refines us.
So perfect yourself, everything else can wait.
