George Gurdjieff

In order to be [born]... a man must die, that is, he must free himself from a thousand petty attachments and identifications which hold him in the position in which he is. He is attached to everything in his life, attached to his imagination, attached to his stupidity, attached even to his sufferings... He must free himself from this attachment. ~George Gurdjieff

Stopping by

I haven't posted in awhile, but I come often to read, and search through the archives, which are a treasure. I get more in touch with what you say Indira, that although we can share our spiritual path with others and do the work together, which is an important part of the spiritual path, we are each responsible for our own inner work. This understanding helps me to go more and more inside.

Without the lessons and this classroom, I would not be where I am today. I read so many self-help books in the past, but having the lessons arrive once a month is a game-changer. I can't ignore them, the way I can ignore a book. It's just the kind of support I need. Your insights are so valuable to me. I am grateful for the personal connection I always feel here in the classroom, as well as with your readings and counseling.

I will talk to you soon, Indira, for our usual weekly counseling session. My counseling sessions with you are a huge support, keeping me on track, and opening me to more in depth spiritual understandings. Thanks again for the school. --Kevin P.S. I like the way the schoolroom changes, reminding me that the world is a world of change. And I like seeing this friendly golden Buddha here.
