On his path as an enlightener and spiritual teacher, Vaklush Tolev formed his original views and his interpretation of history, social ideas and analyses into a whole teaching of a personal, social and universal character, which he called The Way of Wisdom – an expression of the Spiritual Wave of Wisdom already at work within the life of humanity.[1] Inspired by Vaklush Tolev's ideas, an association, ‘The Way of Wisdom Society’, was established. The society works to achieve the unfolding of the spiritual potential of the Bulgarian nation as well as the guiding principles in the spiritual and cultural evolution of humanity.[3]
The followers of the Teaching of Wisdom call themselves and others ‘sabozhnitsi’ (that is ‘co-deities’): ‘The co-deity is God, Whom we seek within ourselves, manifested in the face of the other’. This is how the author formulates the kernel of the concept in an aphorism-like thought.[4]
