Any path in life consists of the continuous accumulation of experience - awareness - that is, the inclusion of more and more new elements in the picture of the world, and understanding the connections in this case turns out to be even more important than understanding the essence of the objects themselves

Having a generally progressively increasing character, the development of awareness over time has an oscillatory, zigzag appearance, a large number of walkers stop at the first peak they reach, refusing to go down, since being at the top indulges in the illusion of breadth of view and elevation above the rest, but continuing the path requires descent, returning to a “less advanced” state, of course, taking into account the accumulated experience

There are two components of the Path - Strength and Authority, which are equally necessary for movement, and if Strength is the “height” of flight, the degree of realization of the potentialities of a being, then Authority is the ability to find a way out of new situations, which means that Authority is necessary in order to, having fallen from a local peak, do not climb to it again, locking yourself in the evil infinity of repetitions, but climb to the next, higher, but again local peak, descend from it and continue the path again

Even the acquisition of these basic qualities occurs in different ways: Strength is hunted, and Authority is earned, if the acquisition of Strength is a largely spontaneous result, while the acquisition of Authority is the result of a steady march along the Path
