How can a person tell when they've completed the 4th internal monad?
MICHAEL: The fourth internal monad allows for a fragment to assess the state of their human personality. How am I doing? Am I myself? Or am I merely repeating what family and education and social expectations have made of me? Within the fragment there is a reality that becomes manifest when the fourth internal monad is completed. Extraneous material that no longer fits will be sloughed off, much as one casts off outgrown garments. The 'fitting' is a result of seriously examining the questions above, as well as others, in determining whether the clothes being worn are appropriate, are comfortable, are useful.
When there is no longer a sense of wondering if things are 'right', then that is a very good sign that the monad has been completed. If there has not been even the beginning of these questionings, then no matter what the age of the fragment, the monad is not complete, indeed may never have been begun.
This means that for those in the waking sleep, it may be necessary for such fragments to take up in the next life the questions about oneself and the discovery of the answers before the monad is experienced as completed. You will notice that this, also, like manifested age, is not a simple trajectory. In the next life, for those who cannot/will not/choose not to examine their lives in the fourth monad in the current one, they will still experience and may finish the first three again before approaching the fourth.
But for those who are walking the path, a sense of release, of settling in, of appreciation for oneself will signal the end of the monad.
