Diversity: Degrees, variations and bridges
Part IV
There are several unique events facing us as individuals and as a species, in this, the beginning of a new millennium, the beginning of the third millennium.
The unique events:
1. Organizations are finding it more and more difficult to ‘compete’ with other organizations if they do not have a unique message to give to individuals, if they do not have a unique message which is succinct, understandable, rational and valuable.
2. Present day society is facing a crisis generated by secularists, atheist, and radical religions. The concept of materialism, monism, nihilism, moral relativism … is rapidly encroaching upon modern day society, encroachment upon the individual’s sense of self-worth and the individual’s God given inalienable rights.
3. We as a species are on the threshold of stepping beyond our home, the Earth, and into the heavens. Once we have made significant inroads into the stars, it will be more difficult to establish a commonality, establish a universal understanding regarding who we are and why we exist.
As such we will enter the heavens as ‘confused slaves’, as a chaotic force spreading violence, nihilism, chaos wherever we go.
We, level 4s, need to ask ourselves: Is chaos and the concept of individuals being slaves to their environment and being slaves to those who wish to use them for their own ends what we wish to observe inundating human perception as we step into both the third millennium and step into space or are we as level 4s ready to risk the wrath of society and our islands of esoteric schools and clearly demonstrate and teach the rationality, attainability and rewards of stepping into region 4, understanding the meaning of man being made in the image of God and the process of acquiring contact with the divine.
It is said:
I need to collaborate in a common effort of ascent. If I do not, whether or not I wish it, I am responsible for the stone I do not bring to the edifice. So, we have to reflect deeply on our work together …
The Reality of Being, The Fourth Way of Gurdjieff, Jeanne De Salzmann, Shambhala, 2010, p119
So it is I bring this stone, the stone of knowledge and understanding to the edifice known as the Cleveland Gurdjieff Society and the Gurdjieff Society in general.
