Jean Biès (Hermes) – René Daumal
Qualquer estudo sobre René Daumal sem dar à aventura gurdjieffiana a importância que ela merece estaria se condenando a uma total incompreensão desse poeta. A experiência de Daumal é ainda mais interessante pelo fato de ser a de um homem que foi educado no mais duro agnosticismo, que enfrentou as aberrações abismais de seu tempo,…

Lipsey (Gurdjieff) – Ashiata Shiemash
[…] Há outra história, que requer três capítulos para ser recontada, de um “Mensageiro Enviado do Alto”, cujo nome é Ashiata Shiemash, que, ao contrário, representa uma iniciativa vinda do alto para ajudar a humanidade [BTG XXVI]. Novamente, há muita história para ser contada. Basta dizer que, ao chegar ao nosso planeta com uma missão…

Lipsey (Gurdjieff) – Sociedade de Akhaldans
Este breve capítulo, que nada mais é do que um convite para a leitura dos Relatos de Belzebu a seu Neto, não pode esperar englobar todo e tudo [referência a All and Everything] em suas páginas, mas quero chamar a atenção para dois episódios extensos relacionados à gênese da comunidade espiritual – ou, para usar…

E. J. Gold (Aparato:1-4) – Aquário como alegoria do mundo humano (1)
A observação imparcial dos limites da vida em um aquário pode nos fornecer uma pista importante sobre a verdadeira natureza de nossa situação planetária e uma base para nos perguntarmos qual pode ser o significado e o propósito da vida. Se dedicarmos algum tempo para observar atentamente um aquário, perceberemos que ele é um ambiente…

Henderson (Buried Dog I:152-155) – terceira menção do Arauto na Terceira Série
A terceira menção de Gurdjieff (e o mais forte endosso) de Arauto é, como de costume, indireta e apresentada como se estivesse “em segundo plano”. Essa consideração nos leva de volta ao título do presente capítulo, “Tzvarnoharno”, cuja palavra-chave (semelhante à função da “foscalia” encontrada anteriormente) forma uma “ponte” para o livro quatro. O que…

Waldberg (Gurdjieff) – Relatos de Belzebu segundo Charles Duits
A linguagem de Relatos de Belzebu a seu neto quase não foi tratada, ou mal tratada, até agora. O estudo ainda não publicado de Charles Duits, que não é um estudo exaustivo, mas sim reflexões que podem ser confiadas, sem preocupação com a literatura, ao seu diário ou a um amigo, parece-me digno de ser…

evil
Just in this alone I shall follow their example and also begin with such an address, but I shall try not to make it very “sugary” as they usually do, owing particularly to their evil wiseacring by which they titillate the sensibilities of the more or less normal reader. 22 BTG I “‘Do you understand,…

B472 B474 [BTG XXX Art, p. 473] “Certain beings who were then enthused by this founded, in imitation of the followers of the said branch of painters, a similar society and the motto of their new movement was: ‘To-search-the-truth-in-the-shades-of-smells-obtained- between-the-moment-of-the-action-of-cold-at-freezing-and- the-moment-of-the-action-at-warm-decomposition.’ “Like the painters, they also then found between these said two definite smells about…

Babylonian
Having said this, Beelzebub again continued to relate about the Babylonian events. 1959 BTG XXIV “It was talked about and discussed by the young and old, by men and women, and even by the Babylonian butchers. Exceedingly anxious were they, particularly the learned, to know about this question. 1970 BTG XXIV “‘As I personally still…

labors
“His further saintly labors showed that although in principle this was in general possible, yet it was impossible fully to employ for this purpose this ‘Law of Falling’ discovered by him. And it would be impossible owing solely to the atmospheres around most of the cosmic concentrations, which atmospheres would hinder the straight falling of…

impulse
Ashiata Shiemash began enlightening their Reason by means of objectively true information and guiding their being-impulses in such a way that they could sense these truths without the participation either of the abnormally crystallized factors already within their presences, or of the factors which might newly arise from the results of the external perceptions they…
