Not so primitive

The designers of the pyramids,
cathedrals, mosques, and so
called "primitive" cave drawings
were in many cases the result
of esoteric school work.

For the cave dwellers, their art represented
the best visual technology of their age.
Archeologists are now finding that they
were also not so primitive.

It has also been claimed that cavemen
were better parents than we are.

Secret history

The secret history of our planet,
is the history of esoteric schools.

The Little Prince

The writer of the great classic:
The Little Prince knew of Gurdjieff
or may have been a pupil according
to some writers.

t is much more difficult to judge oneself
than to judge others.
If you succeed in judging yourself rightly,
then you are indeed a man of true wisdom.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900 - 1944)

Don't get lost in the numbers.

Mr. Gurdjieff said that the work explains
that there are different levels of men.
This is part of how we explain a person's
psychological development.
But don't get too lost in the numbers,
it is another way to fall asleep.
Identifying with what the Fourth Way
system as taught to us by Mr. Gurdjieff.

Tools for work

Look and see your environment.
How you act, how you react.
Can you hear? Can you smell?
Do you feel your breathing.
You look, but do you see?
These are all tools for work.

The antlers of the stag.

The work goes back to the dawn
of civilization. Mr. Gurdjieff was very
impressed when he visited the caves
at Lascaux in France towards the end
of his life. He knew he was seeing signs
of a school. He said of one image that
the antlers of the stag signified of an
enlightened man, a symbol the of
attaining being.

Many cultures place
something on or around the head to signify
a developed soul. Halos, Caps, cones,
horns, symbols of the third eye.
