I'm working on it now Tomas, that's why I posted this. It was the last chapter I wrote before these assholes tried to kill me. Paid subscribers will see every chapter as its written.
I have too, they leave me no other option Greg, and sorry about the other day, you and Jana both should have been mentioned as my valuable American commenters. You know I love your comments. It's just that you and Jana seldom comment.
I suppose I now have my answer, as to the direction of recent discussions concerning Stalin and Gurdjieff. Perhaps it's just me, but the reputation Stalin seems to have survived with much greater shine than his Austrian contemporary.
Gurdjieff and his fire seem to have left public consciousness these days. It was summed up by one chronicler whose name escapes me, but whose recounting of the last years of Gurdjieffs life were less than adoring. I recall the summation concluded with the statement that he had promised to return to his most loyal followers after death, yet like Houdini, he never did.
It seems in this jaded age that only miracles will do, yet why do people believe they are worthy of them?
Ouspensky was onto something when he theorized about living ones life over again.
Considering we provided a video to back up what we are saying I consider Mikes statement beneath him. Fact is Gurdjieff did dematerialize a train in front of many legitimate witnesses, among many other miracles attested to by witnesses. I have listened to countless hours of Gurdjieff and never have I heard him saying anything resembling he would come back from the dead, kill a yak from ten miles away by his will yes, rise from the dead no.
The whole world seemed to die before I knew how at the close of WW2 and all the actors had to die with it as humanity sinks to perhaps its lowest state possible where the darkness that rolled in like endless clouds cast shadows down on men and their outlines in the shadows become more beast than man.
It was the final act of ages and we still haven't come close to moving on in fact how many these days is saddened by the fact not that it happened, but that it's over. To this day the world would do it all over again regardless of the side they were on just to feel the monumental world altering charge of the time. The energy was beyond anything we've experienced today and every generation has been chasing the dragon ever since then. Even I did when I joined a fully conscious Jewish war in Iraq. I can never criticize the blind vets of that era for not knowing the whole when I did and still did it anyways choosing the lie. Says more about me than any WW2 veteran.
That cloud hasn't lifted and in fact it's been choking us ever since like a dungeon with the walls and ceiling closing in. I'm fairly certain they're all right. I'll be crushed and so will we all. We don't hate the elite for wanting to do the same, just the faction that goes about it like dishonorable scumbags the rest of us have no problem pointing out how our current state is like that of dogs. Lesser in fact. So when we finally get crushed the answer will be to what exactly? Dust or diamonds...
What was done in Iraq was bad enough but WW II veterans who fought against their own for the Jew world we see before us now, surely have a special place in hell. They did this and they should have to eat it, greatest generation my ass...
Beneath me or no, such was true as it was reported to me. I suppose I should admit here that I knew a couple who had spent years in a Gurdjieff commune, and so had more than a little passing contact with the movement.
As with all charismatic figures who open to the public, he had a following. I previously related one of those stories here, concerning his group in France.
Gurdjieff, it seems, was a figure somewhere between a self help authority, and a saint to those who believed in him. The desire to observe him conquer death might very well be as Seraphim said, A statement more about his followers than the man. The demand for miracles is a well known human phenomenon.
Perhaps it's a bit unfair to bring up the movement that followed the man, as they are separate, yet I can't shake the perspective that the Gurdjieff legacy is both. Finally, I was rather unimpressed with the ex-followers. Like most they were compromised by the lust for profit, and the world of business became their entire affair. The last I heard, the man was found running down the road screaming having utterly lost his mind.
If I wrote truthfully about life, people would believe it a work of fiction.
I am a devotee of truth, and it gets me in plenty of hot water, as it were. For myself, alone I see reality as both positive and negative, being and non being. I don't believe that we can grasp the truth without these contradictory aspects. Thus, even the experience of the unwashed is part of the greater whole.
But then, this is just me, wandering beneath the Sun and moon.
The Handsome Family has a gift. They illustrate a great deal of the psychospiritual landscape in a manner that is direct and unapologetic. For this, I admire their work.
Anyone who has experienced the bottom falling out with no desire to hold on understands this, I believe.
In terms of my wandering, I meant in no way to claim any exceptional status, Seraphim, only to reserve my own place in line when they count up the dues.
Like I said all that's been said in this book is backed up by evidence, some of it coming from the Kremlin itself, because you knew some hippies in a commune has no place in my comment section and if you persist, I will delete your next comment. We've been through this before, please don't make me do it again.
There's much more coming hold on Seraphim, don't know why it was so easy but I'm back in gear, and once again looking right through them...
Top class! When is the full book coming out?

I knew you were going to write another one. Hopefully I don't lose it and myself this time.

Quality over quantity
l'm thrilled and rereading this is flowstate for me
Stuff just happens I claim no conscious agency
Why bother it's there for all who have eyes to see...

Thugs and murderers, heroes and saviors.
Quite a world.

Yes, very good Seraphim.
I am a devotee of truth, and it gets me in plenty of hot water, as it were. For myself, alone I see reality as both positive and negative, being and non being. I don't believe that we can grasp the truth without these contradictory aspects. Thus, even the experience of the unwashed is part of the greater whole.
