I never red him, but had been told about his general idea, roughly. Much I laready have forgotten again. So, I do not know him, but I have an impression from what direction his name is calling. |
In a sentence, the title of his last work, "Life Is Only Real When 'I am'", probably sums it ups best. Not to say I'm subscribing myself to being an official "Gurdjieff follower" or anything

I'd recently read "Views from the Real World", and it made a surprising lot of sense to me. Some of your rant reminded me of his logic as described there. :hmm:

About his teaching, Gurdjieff once said, "What do I teach? I teach people how to listen to themselves."
