Being out of time...

Being is out of time, so it essentially does
not matter the year or the day.

Stand on your head...

Mr. Gurdjieff hung his Christmas tree upside down
from the ceiling.

It is possible that he was indicating to us to look
at life differently.

A student of Gurdjieff and Orage's once told us
that at a meeting with Orage in New York, someone
asked, "How can I look at life differently?".
Mr. Orage replied: "Stand on your head!".

2012 and the New Year

Rodney Collin wrote that there are Chairos times,
moments when after a long cycle of "static"
behavior, a sudden breakthrough is possible.

One can reach a new energy, new field of activity,
change one's life drastically by breaking the old
pattern.

This can happen by a movement of will, forcing
oneself to perhaps speak to someone, to ask
a favor, a meeting, or help. Send off a job
application, or possibly to just be honest with
someone.

The end of the old year brings this possibility,
as the old year's cycle comes to a close.
