Bombshells...

One of the reasons that we need a
group, as advised by Mr. Gurdjieff;
is that a man cannot keep watch on all
parts of himself.

The members of a group build emotional trust
between each other. This takes time.

Then, when the time is right, you start getting
"bombshells", that slowly start to dismantle
the old self, so that a new man can begin
to emerge.
