Gurdjieff & Self-Observation Gurdjieff believed that ... most of us live our lives as unconscious automatons. Oblivious to our own real potential, our essence, we are totally identified with our personality, our self-image, and with whatever thoughts, feelings, images, daydreams, or sensations capture our attention at the moment. Because we so quickly and mechanically say I to each impulse as it arises, says #Gurdjieff, especially those impulses that support our self-image, we believe we are masters of ourselves, seldom noticing our own inner fragmentation and our lack of will and choice as a result of this fragmentation. We lose ourselves at every moment in one or another aspect of our lives, out of touch with the remarkable wholeness that is our birthright.--Dennis Lewis, from my essay, Gurdjieff and the Further Reaches of Self-Observation Click on the photo/link to read the entire essay.
