II·The Path
Six stages. You walk them.
The Waking. The Discipline. The Trial. The Temperance. The Constancy. The Free.
No stage is bought, and none is skipped. Each opens as the days add up, with its own precept and its own practice. At the centre is the vow: mastery over the urge, kept one day at a time, marked honestly, once a day. Maintained, released with intention, or broken. Only a lapse of will breaks the count.
