The four points lessons are about balance, locomotion, and orientation. I would say they are about confidence.

My teacher, Dennis Leri, comments in part on these lessons here:

Doing a Feldenkrais lesson, people start getting the idea of where it's going so they lose the attention needed. They go through the motions versus assuming authorship of their experience. Assume that everything you do will be known, and recognize that everything has consequences. Moshé felt that if you couldn’t deal with the consequences of an action, you shouldn’t do it. Originally he didn't want to do this work, he could have just done physics or judo. But, like the stories of many creative people, he was drawn to it and it took him to the deepest place in himself.

“Assuming your own authorship” is a good way to engage with these lessons. They are not about the mechanics of the arms and legs, they are about the process by which you fully commit to an action and its consequences.
