Expanding consciousness is often a challenge for people active in the Workshop of Thought. To do this it is necessary to retract consciousness from the personal centre and launch it far away. Many meditation exercises, recommended to students, are on the contrary centripetal, as they direct energy to the center, that is definitely the lower self, which holds and binds. The result is that what you would like to eradicate just flourishes.
A first level, or conquest is when any individual gets excited about an undertaking seen as wide-ranging and useful to improve the condition of human society. They are aware of having little force, yet give their contribution, and in so doing move, partially, their attention away from themselves.
To follow the Way it is thus necessary and sufficient to keep the mind in the Light. Once the lower self has been left, the higher Self can fly free in solar Space.
