Peter Brook (Dossiers H) – a metáfora do ator
Gurdjieff usa com frequência a metáfora do ator para falar sobre o ser humano plenamente desenvolvido. Ele fala sobre desempenhar um papel na vida, respondendo a todas as demandas de situações variáveis, assumindo-as completamente, sem perder sua liberdade interior.

Random (Dedans:173-175) – Mme de Salzmann e Luc Dietrich (2)
Encontrei [Luc Dietrich] a Sra. de Salzmann, que estava prestes a partir para Paris. Ela parece triste e cansada para mim. Fomos juntas para a estação.

E. J. Gold (Aparato:5-10) – Aquário como alegoria do mundo humano (2)
Se o nosso mundo está realmente relacionado a outros mundos, então devemos nos perguntar o que podemos realizar que seria significativo e de valor e consequência objetiva além de seus limites.

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…

J. G. Bennett: Sermão da Montanha
Excertos traduzidos do livro “Needs of a New Age Community” O Sermão da Montanha deve ser compreendido como um manual de ascese cristã; um instrumento de auto-exame permanente.

COMMON CREATOR
“‘But what has the existence of another being, which you destroy, to do with this, and, moreover, one whose existence you destroy in the name of its CREATOR? “‘Is not that “life” just the same as yours for the CREATOR Who created you as well as this other being? “‘Thanks to your psychic strength and…

theories
“And as for the objective reality of the theories of both these ‘great’ terrestrial ‘learned beings’, I am reminded of one of the wise sayings of our esteemed Mullah Nassr Eddin, namely: “‘They were both very successful, though of course not without luck, in finding the authentic godmother of the incomparable Scheherazade on an old…

Makary
“And according to this elucidation, it turned out that that three-brained being who was the first to give the beginning of the crystallizing of that maleficent idea was a certain Makary Kronbernkzion whose higher being-part perfected to the required gradation of Reason had not only become worthy to go to the holy planet, but was…

being-mentation
“Thanks to the sciences invented by the ancient Greeks, only the being-mentation of other beings was spoiled and still continues to be spoiled.

“‘And it is desirable because owing to faith alone does there appear in a being, the intensity of being-self-consciousness necessary for every being, and also the valuation of personal Being as of a particle of Everything Existing in the Universe. BTG XIX

being-sensation
After a short pause Beelzebub continued thus: “Before telling you further about the three-brained beings who have taken your fancy and who breed on the planet Earth, it is in my opinion absolutely necessary for you, for a clear representation of the strangeness of their psyche and, in general, for a better understanding of everything…

feeling of self-preservation
“And indeed, my boy, during these processes, they usually instinctively at first refrain from such an unnatural manifestation, but later when every one of them already in the environment of the process itself willy-nilly sees and becomes convinced that the destruction of the existence of those similar to themselves proceeds so simply, and that the…

B1209 B1211 [BTG XLVIII From the Author, p. 1210] And as regards this possibility of correctly conducting self-observation and conducting it without the risk of incurring the maleficent consequences which have more than once been observed from people’s attempts to do this without proper knowledge, it is necessary that the warning must be given –…

B1203 B1205 [BTG XLVIII From the Author, p. 1204] In the presences of average people what they call will is exclusively only the resultant of desires. Real will is a sign of a very high degree of Being in comparison with the Being of the ordinary man. But only those people who possess such Being…
