Living in isolation, in a collectivity or in a brotherhood

Three levels of consciousness

August 6th 2025
Each individual must work to develop and enrich themselves provided they do so for the good of the collectivity and not just for themselves. Only then can a collectivity be termed a brotherhood. A collectivity is not yet a brotherhood. A brotherhood is a collectivity where there is true cohesion, because each individual member works consciously for the good of the whole.
In society, there are in fact three types of individuals, corresponding to three levels of consciousness. There are those who want to work alone, isolated and turned in on themselves. There are those who, having understood the advantages to be gained from a collectivity, form groups, but only because it is in their own interest to do so. They neither truly know nor love each other. Finally, there are those who learn to live more fraternally, as their consciousness of universality gradually deepens.*
