Part V · The one who lives in you

This is the time

The tradition teaches that humanity has entered a new age. What that asks of you is simple: do not postpone the work.

The books describe human history in long ages, each lasting thousands of years. The sun moves slowly through the signs of the zodiac on that scale too, and each age has its own character.

The tradition of Gnosis teaches that a new age, the age of Aquarius, began in February 1962. It is a time, the books say, when teachings once kept for a few are given openly to anyone who wants them.

It is easy to be fascinated by this, and to spend years reading about ages, prophecies and the end of times. But a map of history does not wake anyone.

What the new age asks of you is plain. The teachings are open, as this book is. It is a time to do the work, not to wait for better conditions. The conditions are already here.

Most people postpone the inner work in a quiet way. They mean to start the practice next month, after a busy season ends, when life is calmer. Life is rarely calmer.

So this page has nothing to learn by heart. It has only one question: what are you putting off?

Try this

  1. Name one thing in the inner work that you keep postponing: a practice, an apology, an honest look at a self.
  2. Decide that you will not postpone it.
  3. Do the first small piece of it today.
  4. Tonight, in the review, note that you did.
