While speaking of the will of man and of the various aspects of its supposedly self-initiated manifestations, which for contemporary what are called “enquiring minds” – but according to our reasoning, “naïve minds” – are matters for wiseacring and self-adulation, it will do no harm to quote what was said by Mr. Gurdjieff in another “conversational lecture”, because the totality of what he then said may well throw light on the illusoriness of that will which every man supposedly has.
