I wish to be conscious of myself. Yet, as I am at this moment,
can I know myself, can I be conscious of myself?
I cannot. I am too scattered. I feel nothing.
But I see that I am asleep, and I see the symptoms of this sleep.
I have forgotten the sense of my existence, I have forgotten myself.
We do not realize how passive we are,
always pulled along by events, people and things.
We begin an activity with great interest, fully aware of our aim.
But after a certain time, the impulse weakens, overcome by inertia.
We must become active in relation to our inertia,
the passive work of our functions. If we wish to change,
we must look for the new man in ourselves, the one who is hidden.
This is the one who remembers, who has a force that can only be
brought by our wish, our will, and must grow degree y degree.
