Scenes from the Secret 4th Book: The Benevolent Officer

states, "A Philosopher must be willing to destroy himself several times throughout his life. Challenge and oppose himself while everyone else is seeking to stabilize themselves by believing in themselves. The only path to his Creation is through his own perpetual destruction. He is his own enemy. His Compassion and kindness towards others is because he is so cruel to himself, no one could be better or less than him. No matter how a person gets to the spirit a person is tearing down a combination of the same things that everyone else tears down. It all seems complex, until you know, but the brilliance lies to those that saw it without guides, the heroes alone in the mind. But if he knows that what he is in nothing, indefinable, that, that is his spirit, his reward is the peace that tearing himself apart leaves within him. Constantly keeping himself close to the source the Creation flows from."
