Gurdjieff talked about the drones, those that are asleep, are fertilizer, for the rest of to grow in. All beingness serves a purpose. All is equal, there is just different function for the evolution of consciousness. When awake we learn “Self Observation” the main tool that the Master “G” taught to his many students. We learn the awareness to confront ourself and unlearn certain judgements we have assumed. He taught that there is a CHOICE of Identification with I AM or personality. Wake up or stay asleep?
The Master “G” said We unlearn, or to break up our robotic thinking or “reactions” in daily life. Experience the Self. See yourself as others do. The roles you play can be dropped. To be one with Universal Principles, consciousness is the propositon to his student. Sometimes takes a shock from life, Guru, or your partner! The Hall of Mirrors is us coming “face to face”! “Experience,” not just intellectual concepts.
He was not interested in anything but the highest and best awareness, and that nothing else will do in his School in France. He was said to have not care much if you broke in the process to this Cosmic Awareness of one self. Frank Loyd Wright and Eugene O’Niel were a couple of his students, the took the bait and ate the poison apple of awareness. They were artist of excellence. That was what the proposition that Master “G” required one to accept. Once swallowed one had to have more.. beingness, or presence….that is the way it is.
