This document discusses how people experience fluctuations between periods of light and darkness in their consciousness, similar to natural fluctuations in nature. It advises being prepared for difficult periods by learning to sense when they are approaching so you do not unwisely commit to undertakings that you may regret when your consciousness becomes dark and obscured. Knowing when dark periods will recur helps avoid feeling weak, dejected, or without inspiration later on if you had started something important during that time.

1. Be prepared for difficult periods

2. Our consciousness is sometimes full of light

3. and sometimes in darkness

4. Sometimes brimful and sometimes empty

5. For we are subject to the same fluctuations as nature

6. This is why it is important to know when each phenomenon is going to recur.

7. If you cannot see that the pendulum is about to swing back to a difficult period, you may commit yourself unwisely to such or such undertaking

8. And then when the time comes, you find yourself in the doldrums, without inspiration or joy

9. You could have avoided this if you had realized in advance that the dark days were about to begin and that you would be feeling weak and dejected All our faults are commited in darkness when our consciousness is obscured
