The goal in the material world is self-actualization, realizing one’s potential; like a seed becoming a fruitful tree.

The goal in the transcendental world is self-realization, realizing we are the eternal soul manifested as an infinite number of everchanging things.

There are two paths to both self-actualization and self-realization: the institutional path and the self-discovering path.

The institutional path in the material world starts with a formal education and continues as one develops in a corporate or governmental organization.

The self-discovering path in the material world is going it alone by starting a business.

The institutional path in the transcendental world is marked by religious texts, codes of conduct, collective rituals and individual practices under the guide of a guru or spiritual leader.

The self-discovering path in the transcendental world is sitting still, observing, asking questions.

The institutional paths limit risk and reward.

The self-discovering paths are limited by the self.

There are many institutional paths but only one self-discovering path.
