How is it this blog extends far beyond analysis?
Analysis comes from an individual. This work did not come from me but rather came through me.
I have been given information to questions I have been asking for more than sixty years and within this primer are answers which directly pertain to four basic aspects of the Gurdjieff Foundation’s works.

1.     The individuals true essence
2.     The Diagram of Everything Living
3.     The Circle of Life – Ouspensky, p 205
4.     Gurdjieff’s primary quest

'But what is this!!! Can it be really so??!! A new thought[1]!!! Why hitherto could there not have come to my head such a simple thought?’
Live Is Real Only Then, When ‘I Am’, G. I. Gurdjieff, All and Everything, Third Series, Penguin Arkana, 1978, p. 22

In return for receiving such information, I have agreed to pass the knowledge and understanding on to you.
This journey for truth began in 1951.

The potential of this blog

Analysis:

It is often said within the Gurdjieff Society: One needs to experience not analyze.

Although it may appear blog is a work of analysis, it is in fact far more than an analysis. This blog presents a potential paradigm shift regarding The Higher, the cosmos and man.

This blog adds an evolutionary step up the evolutionary stairway humanity has been traveling since humanity’s inception.

Absolute truth

11/7/2016

3 Comments

A surprising number of people in the Gurdjieff Society hold to the 'belief' of there being no absolute, no objective truth, but, Gurdjieff says of objective truth:

“Knowledge, however, the real objective knowledge towards which man, as he asserts, is struggling, is possible only in the fourth state of consciousness…
”… Knowledge which is acquired in the ordinary state of consciousness is intermixed with dreams.”
Gurdjieff Quote, In Search of the Miraculous, The Teachings of Gurdjieff, P. D. Ouspensky, Harcourt Inc., 1949, 1977, p. 145

And this observation by Ouspensky regarding Gurdjieff and 'objective truth', absolute truth:

"There were certain points to which G. invariably used to return in all his talks with us after the formal lectures … the difficulty of conveying “objective truths …
… knowledge of the All, was for him objective knowledge. ...
... The successive transmission of the ideas of objective knowledge has always been a part of the task of those possessing this knowledge."
In Search of the Miraculous, The Teachings of Gurdjieff, P. D. Ouspensky, Harcourt Inc., 1949, 1977, p. 278 - 279

Is there such a thing as 'truth'?

Is there such a thing as ‘truth’?

There is such a thing as truth. In fact there are two forms of truth. There is ‘objective truth’ and there is ‘subjective truth’.

Some would have you believe all truth is ‘subjective’ but they are the relativists, doubters, secularists, atheists, non-believers, obstructionists, envious, unaware …

Subjective truth is truth found ‘within’ one’s self, is found within one's false egos.

To find ‘objective truth’ one must look both ‘outside’ one’s self as well as deep within one's self, look beyond one's false egos for this is where objective truth/absolute truth is found. This is not to say one cannot ‘feel’ and understand objective truth within one’s self, rather this is to say ‘objective truth’ is the same for all of us, is universal in nature and thus is all around us, all around each and every one of us and as such is found ‘outside’ our personal self and is found deep within each and every one of us for we are all the same in terms of our true essence.

An indepth analysis of objective truth can be found in the free book section of this blog under the title: Panentheism Addressing the Whole of Reality

What you seek - simplistically speaking

11/1/2016

Figure 0.0 is the most simplistic graphic I can provide you regarding what you are seeking and why it is you are seeking what it is you are seeking.

Now the graphic will most likely have no meaning to you at this point in our dialogue but reflect upon it for a day or two and then I will give you some basic insights into the graphic.

In fact, this web blog will spend a great deal of time expanding upon this graphic in order to lead you through the process of finding just what it is you seek and why it is such a task is important to you and worthy of your energies.

You may have been a member of the Gurdjieff Society for some time or maybe you are new to the society.

You have been told: 'If you 'wish' to find your true essence, with time you can find it here.

But what exactly does that mean? Everything seems mysterious. No one will commit to describing just what it is, what this 'true self' is.

No one will admit to being a level four, being a number four man, because no one wants to appear arrogant. Everyone wants to be 'humble'. Everything is wrapped in a shroud of mystery.

Well I will tell you up front, I am a level four man, a number four man, and I celebrate the fact. I refuse to exude false humility any longer.and yes I will remove the shroud of mystery hiding the process of becoming such.

I will teach you 'a' process of attaining level four for it is my belief that once one has traveled the path, one can can facilitate the journey for others, can shorten the long, arduous and tedious process of becoming a number four individual.

One who has made the journey has an obligation to assist others, male or female, in their journey of becoming a number four individual.

The greater the number of individuals who reach level four, the more able we will be in our quest to advance the human race in its relentless effort to understand itself and move the human race along in its effort to raise it perceptual understanding of 'where we are', 'what we are' and 'why it is we exist.

In the mean time, reflect upon the graphic and soon we will begin an examination of just what this graphic, Fig. 0.0, has to offer.
