"A balanced approach will temper your desires and will also enable you to overcome your fears, for nearly everyone is afraid of at least one of the pillars. Some people are afraid of all the pillars. Your desires and your fears will become tempered if you take this approach. This develops character and capacity. If you are driven by ambition or if you are overcome by fear, you will not be able to establish the foundation for a life of Knowledge."

Directives

"You cannot afford to be over invested in any one area. You must seek a balance, which is something that very few people do in this world." [1]

The Four Pillars of Life

The Pillar of Relationships

"Become dedicated to finding Knowledge and you will find Knowledge. And you will find those relationships that are based upon Knowledge. And those relationships will empower you and enable you to develop the other three pillars of your life." [2]

The Pillar of Health

"Health is vitality. Vitality is a will to live and to contribute. It contains an excitement about life. It contains a sense of purpose in life. And it communicates its natural affinity with life to everyone around you. This vitality can be in a body that is strong or in a body that is weak." [1]

"Even the invalid can be radiant with Knowledge. This is vitality." [1]

The Pillar of Work

The Pillar of Spiritual Development

"Development of the Four Pillars of life represents your day-to-day activity and your greater challenge in learning. Your activities in the world are primarily concerned with these categories, so we are talking about something you are doing already. The question is whether you are developing or not, for you must develop in each of the four areas. You cannot develop one to the exclusion of the others. You must develop them all." [3]

"A balanced approach will temper your desires and will also enable you to overcome your fears, for nearly everyone is afraid of at least one of the pillars. Some people are afraid of all the pillars. Your desires and your fears will become tempered if you take this approach. This develops character and capacity. If you are driven by ambition or if you are overcome by fear, you will not be able to establish the foundation for a life of Knowledge." [3]

"Spiritual development, said in the simplest of ways, is reclaiming your relationship with Knowledge—the immortal and eternal aspect of yourself that you have brought into this world. [4]
