Sparking the self

"From a little spark, may burst a mighty flame"
[info]gurdjieff4thway
Mr. Gurdjieff spoke about the process of crystallization.
Not so much later, but he was careful to make sure he transmitted this
process to Mr. Ouspensky; he knew it would make it into his writings.
In his life, Mr. Gurdjieff suffered tremendously, more than we can understand.

People in history went throught tremendous trials, the one thing that is a
differentiation, is that the suffering and experiences we go through in the work,
are suffered consciously for personal growth.

A second body starts to "flash" into being when one is remembering oneself.
It is such a simple, understated experience, most people bypass this.

We tend to think nothing of it. However, it is a beginning.
The beginning of a fire that will later ignite the higher centers.

Dante, an enlightened being, said:

"From a little spark, may burst a mighty flame"
