In the beginning, the "I" that lives in the spiritual heart is asleep. It is the ego, made up of all the mental, emotional and instinctive elements (and all the conditioning and beliefs coming from the outside world), which leads the way, from the head.
“Asleep” people essentially function at the level of the sensitive mind (the one acquired during the fourth septaine – between the ages of 21 and 28). They are only interested in what is material and sensitive (living emotions and feelings).
“Dreaming” people essentially function at the level of the psychic or intellectual mind (the one acquired during the fifth septaine – between the ages of 28 and 35). In addition to the physical, they are interested in ideas and carry out projects. They are also intellectuals.
People who “wake up” function at the level of the spiritual or conscious mind (the one that was partially acquired during the sixth septaine – between the ages of 35 and 42). In addition to the physical and the ideas, they are interested in ideals which exceed them: either material, or spiritual-sensitive; either knowledge, or spiritual-psychic; either spiritual, or true spiritual mind, which only truly develops through a spiritual path, and the concrete experience of self-awareness. In our time, it is rare.
Our epoch of culture consists in awakening the "I" sleeping in the cave of the heart (humanity is approximately 37/38 years of mental age), so that it finds the memory of its spiritual identity.
At the beginning, the “I” is like an innocent child: he is the inner child locked up in the sacred cave of the heart. The "I" must strengthen considerably, in order to master the ego, and then to get rid of it.
