The inner meaning seems to be that, in addition to the three degrees of control already described, control, that is, over the incoming current of life, over the outgoing current, and over the condition of pause or quiesence, there is a fourth degree of control, which holds in complete mastery both the outer passage of events and the inner currents of thoughts and emotions; a condition of perfect poise and stability in the midst of the flux of things outward and inward. THE INNER MEANING SEEMS TO BE THAT IN ADDITION TO THE THREE DEGREES OF CONTROL ALREADY DESCRIBED CONTROL THAT IS OVER THE INCOMING CURRENT OF LIFE OVER THE OUTGOING CURRENT AND OVER THE CONDITION OF PAUSE OR QUIESCENCE THERE IS A FOURTH DEGREE OF CONTROL WHICH HOLDS IN COMPLETE MASTERY BOTH THE OUTER PASSAGE OF EVENTS AND THE INNER CURRENT OF THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS A CONDITION OF PERFECT POISE AND STABILITY IN THE MIDST OF THE FLUX OF THINGS OUTWARD AND INWARD

In the breath, there should be right inbreathing, followed by the period of pause, when the air comes into contact with the blood, and this again followed by right outbreathing, even, steady, silent. Further, the lungs should be evenly filled; many maladies may arise from the neglect and consequent weakening of some region of the lungs. And the number of breaths is so important, so closely related to health, that every nurse’s chart records it. But the deeper meaning is concerned with the currents of life; with that which goeth into and cometh out of the heart. 51. The fourth degree transcends external and internal objects.
