Mr. Gurdjieff said that to cease fighting
against events, feeling irritated, angry,
to reconcile oneself to perceived ill treatment,
would be to cease "inner considering".
To cease letting events from the outside
affect one, this is why many Fourth Way
teachers will for a time, be injust towards
their students, ignoring them, giving them
too much to do. This creates strength and will.
Think about a sergeant major with new recruits.
If he was kind, and never pushed them during
training, they would be bad, soft, ill trained
soldiers, and would never grow.They get the
tough, and unpleasant jobs, sometimes
pushed to the limits of tiredness and exhaustion.
But only for a while.
