Wake Up!!
"A fundamental idea is that in our ordinary state everything takes place in sleep. And in sleep we can see nothing. We cannot direct our lives by our own will. We are entirely dependent on influences from outside and enslaved by the automatic reactions of our functioning. It is complete slavery. There is no higher principle, no conscious principle."
The Reality of Being, The Fourth Way of Gurdjieff, Jeanne De Salzmann, Shambhala, 2010, p22.
‘Do not mistake your bodies [levels] for yourself –
Neither the physical body [Level 1],
Nor the astral [Level 2],
Nor the mental [Level 3].
Each one of them will pretend to be the Self,
In order to gain what it wants.
But you must know them all,
And
Know yourself [level 4] as their master.’
At the Feet of the Master and Towards Discipleship, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Quest books, Theosophical Publishing House, Wheaton Illinois, 2001, p. 30-31
The quest, the point of those seeking is to recognize, know, understand, to observe one’s false personalities in preparation for knowing one’s true self as the master of one’s false personalities.
The point is to shed the shackles, break the chains and throw off the yoke of being a confused slave to life.
Again: Who is to make the journey?
Only those who wish to know are to make the arduous trek towards knowledge and understanding
