Feed yourself, the three centers...

Don't forget to feed yourself.
Not just food, but impressions.

You need emotional food, for example
going to a gallery, or a positive movie
or concert, walking in nature.
Gardening, painting, something that
feeds your growing soul.

Mr. Gurdjieff said we must "keep",
the three centers in balance: he is
referring to what we call in the 4th way,
emotional, intellectual, and moving/instinctive.

Peace comes.....

Peace comes when you are no
longer fighting with yourself.

It also comes because you have suffered
yourself, you mistakes, your identifications,
the damage you have done to others and
yourself with your negativity.

Acceptance, love, forgiveness, presence.

Sex and money...

Mr. Gurdjieff said: "That nothing shows
so much what a man is, as much as his
attitude towards sex and money".

Which book to read...

Mr. Gurdjieff was once having coffee with
a student at a cafe, and the student asked
him: "Mr. Gurdjieff, what book should I read?".

Mr. Gurdjieff leaned over and gave him a hard
slap on the chest: "This book!".

The "undiscovered" self.

The "other side"...

Television and radio now have
many shows on the paranormal,
ufo's, aliens, healing powers, the
supernatural.

Our human aspirations are for what
is on the "other side" if you like.

However, the real "other side",
is inside.

see our next post.

Intervals...

Mr. Gurdjieff said that:
"Intervals are the bearers
of new directions".

We ran into technical problems
with our blog some months back,
perhaps it was time for a break.
We can start to post more regularly now.

At the end of the day...

At the end of the day,
we will have done the best
we can with our experiences
on this planet.
