    After spending more than 40 years with all kinds of traditions and teachers, I more and more realize, that our attempt to put mystical practice into words most often leads us into the rabbit holes of misunderstandings and philosophy. So much tradition and changing language are obscuring the simplicity of ‘awareness of being’. The ‘I am’ is the gateway to our non-dual pure being. As soon as the pure beingness of ‘I am’ is triggering the thought ‘I am’, we are transitioning from our essence into the prison of our limited mind. Gurdjieff did his utmost to guide his followers in the language and practice of 100 years ago. Just like Spinoza did more than 300 years ago, just like the Sufi masters, Meister Eckardt, the masters of Advaita Vedanta, The Buddha ages ago. Thank you for your efforts to ‘translate’ this beautiful mystic into the present day world.

    Thank you for this! I recently came across Gurdjieff from a friend, who has found immense benefit in applying his work. Thanks for the lucid interpretation of his work. Subscribed to your channel, looking forward to your future analysis too.

    This teaching really resonates with me. We judge ourselves, we judge others, all the while maintaining this construct we call our self. A construct that isn’t even really ours. I don’t remember there being any choice involved. Here is your story, here are your thoughts, obsessions, and your opinions. It is horrific.

    Heard about Gurdjieff recently from listening to Ram Dass. It intrigues me as a muslim convert interested in Sufism to know all about his teachings and life. Thank you for the video
