WHAT of the system
Having explained the WHY and the HOW of our system of meditation, at the third, the advanced, and the final level, we now get on to a discussion of the WHAT of the system. As we said earlier what we do is the cultivation of the Seven Steps to Awakening that ends up in Awakening from the Dream of Existence.
The Seven Steps to Awakening are as follows:
