I remember, in my preschool years, a child in the neighborhood who had crafted a boomerang and threw it high. The boomerang, spinning on itself, traced an elliptical trajectory in the air and returned to its operator. The child would stretch high or gather low to successfully catch it again, and I wondered what forces brought about this particular result.
Later, in school, lessons in experimental physics, ancient Greek philosophy, mathematics, the etymology of Greek words and their representation in numbers, offer me nuggets of universal knowledge. I need time to evaluate them. Gradually, I understand that on the path to the realization of our Self, Divine Providence is present. Upon graduation, the decorative arts, ancient scriptures, psychology, and astrology lead me to seek the highest aspects of my essence.
«Ικετεύω- Iketévo»: I beg with intensity and humility to find a practical school of Truth.
«Μελετώ- Meletó»: I study. I process ancient studies and wise sayings. Having the need to realize my essence, I exist in an international human environment. Under the gaze of the conscious teacher and Divine Providence, our spiritual activity evolves our personal and collective being. Now, a new experimental School of Truth is being conceived within our nature.
«Διυλίζω-Deelízo»: I refine. I clarify my understandings by painting. Seven worlds constitute our being, with seven energy centers of different frequencies.
At times, we manifest our being with energies that characterize the ethereal world of the emotional center and sex center. At other times, we manifest our being in a more limited way, with energies that characterize the world of other lower centers. Wanting to coordinate these various energies, we repeatedly refine them through the ethereal path of higher energies. No one who awakens escapes passing through this ethereal path.
The Fourth Way, as a system of higher emotional and mental development of man, is constantly being shaped. Through our battles in life, we have time to notice the transmutation of our destiny.
Having gained awareness of the possibilities of our being since childhood, we can understand with mathematical precision how our higher emotional and higher intellectual centers are constantly working.
I stretch high and sometimes I gather low. I pass from my ethereal world to the plane of the senses. This pass is made consciously. Then I go from my sensible world to the ethereal, again consciously. Suddenly, I realize the coordination of my energies as a rhythmic stillness through my entire being.
«Ζωντανεύω-Zontanévo»: I come to life. I come back to life, I resurrect.
I embroider continuous conscious stitches of wise knowledge and science on the canvas of my being. With the help of Divine Providence, I bring within the eternal Self \’remembering.\’ This is \’Aletheia,\’ our individual experimental School of Truth in life. (Truth=Αλήθεια-Aletheia=not forgetting our Self.) Through this experimental School of Truth, the ancient Greek Logos radiates, unceasingly, the wisdom of God.
Notes on the numerology of phrases above:
- I beg: «Ικετεύω» (counts: 10+20+5+300+5+400+800 = 10).
2. I study: «Μελετώ» (counts: 40+5+30+5+300+800 = 10).
3. I refine: «Διυλίζω» (counts: 4+10+400+30+10+7+800 = 10).
4. I come to life: «Ζωντανεύω» (counts: 7+800+50+300+1+50+5+400+800 = 10).
