Our Teaching is not a religion. It does not
require any form of faith and proposes that we proceed along the
following four stages:
-
Understand its principles intellectually.
-
Reflect on them personally after applying
them.
-
After understanding the principle, reflecting
on and applying it, we are able to perceive its truth. At this
moment we begin to have an emotional connection with the Path.
-
Our knowledge of the Path gives us the energy
to act in our lives...
The Teaching of Selim Aïssel is based on
the Fourth
Way. This teaching is in evolution, adapted to current conditions,
and Selim Aïssel has called this enrichment the Fifth
Way ( "out of respect for the Fourth Way and for all
who shall come afterwards").
The
Fifth Way...
In order to reconnect ourselves with the Force
of the Origin, the path is twofold:
- Firstly, the path of effort and will, of study and service ;
-
And secondly, the path not of the renunciation
of effort and will, but of the renunciation of egoistic will,
in which we seek to enter into resonance with a greater Force;
this is the Fifth Way.
These two paths are complementary, the first
being a preparation for the second.
When a person succeeds in harmonising, in immobility and silence,
his physical body, emotional center, and intellectual center, it
is possible that the Force
of the Origin may enter him. When a person places himself in
the upright position, the position that is truly human, and abandons
his usual thoughts, emotions, desires, and movements, surrendering
himself to the movement of his soul or the movement of the Origin,
the true process of the awakening of his soul and his essence may
begin.
Today we are living at an epoch in which every human being is capable
of experiencing the force of his own soul or the force of the Origin
directly, without any external aid and without any ritual. This
force has become accessible to any person who so desires. All he
has to do is to want the contact, to be ready to entrust himself
to his own soul, to this force which is greater than himself, the
force of life, evolution, and the awakening of the soul.
