Esotericism of the Fourth Way

The fundamental condition of man is sleep; man is asleep his consciousness is hypnotized confused; he does not know who he is he does not know why he acts he is a kind of machine an automaton to which everything happens; he has no control over his thoughts his emotions his imagination his attention; he believes he loves desires hates wants but never knows the true motivations of these impulses that appear and disappear like meteors; he says I am I do I want believing that I really have a unitary ego while it is fragmented in a multitude of centers that dominate it from time to time; he deludes himself that he is aware of himself but he cannot wake up from himself he can only dream of waking up; she thinks she can govern her own life but she is a puppet directed by forces that she ignores; he spends his entire existence in sleep and dies in sleep; he spends all his time in a subjective world he cannot escape; it is unable to distinguish the real from the imaginary; he wastes his energies to chase unnecessary things; and only sometimes does he realize that he is not satisfied that life eludes him that he is wasting the opportunity that has been offered to him.
