The state of a student
Being a student and the thirst for truth
What am I ready to hear? What intention do I come with? Do I want to understand, or to get what I have already decided to get? Meetings about being a student, the work of study, and your own perception conclude with a meditation on the thirst for knowledge and the thirst for truth.
What lies behind my desire to study the spiritual world?
- For those already familiar with the program who are considering their own intention
- For those who want to distinguish being a student, independence, and the expectation of a result
What you can explore here

What to keep in mind
The meditation includes Christian and supersensible concepts. The collection does not promise spiritual status, personal mentorship, or a repetition of the author's experience.
Does being a student mean agreeing unconditionally?
These pages do not suggest giving up questions, independence, or responsibility. They consider a state of perception and your own intention within the author's approach.
