I was pleased to be introduced to a spiritualist writer, orator, mystic; GI Gurdjieff. I'm currently doing research on his works, reading his critics, and attempting to tie in a contemporary equivalent to our ownselves. Things I question when reading about new artists; Why are they powerful to many and an inspiration to as a world ambassador to knowledge? WHere was the artist born and where has he travelled? Has his understanding, wisdom changed over the course of his lifes works? What were his greatest works within his stages of work?
Here's a poem I pasted; from Gurdjieff's "Beelzebub's Tales to his Grandson:
Faith of consciousness is freedom
Faith of feeling is weakness
Faith of body is stupidity.
Love of consciousness evokes the same in response
Love of feeling evokes the opposite
Love of body depends only on type and polarity.
Hope of consciousness is strength
Hope of feeling is slavery
Hope of body is disease.
