4.3. level 3 = the realization that underneath it all, who you are is not something that is determined externally or in defined in your head. You are the consiousness that you are, your formless innermost identity. Nothing that can be happening around you, is determining who you are. Success or failure can not give you your true reality, it's all a play of forms, has to do with time and the life situation. Step into the power of the present moment.
