... those pencils between each of your fingers, and then squeeze your hands tight, asking, "Do you want a little more? Do you need more?" - to small children! He was certainly a fascist. I am making this statement so it is at least on record: people who choose to be teachers have something wrong with them. Perhaps it is the desire to dominate or a lust for power; perhaps they are all a little...
... -- the nightmares of the share market, the nightmares of power politics. It is easier to be awakened here. If you cannot awaken here, you cannot wake up anywhere else. But remember, let me repeat it again, there is no other reality, there is only one reality. But the one reality can be seen in two ways: with sleepy eyes, dreamy eyes, eyes full of dust, and then what you see is distorted; and the same...
... -- man is still a monkey. Perhaps he has fallen from the trees, that's all. Not evolved, but fallen. My effort from today will be just to work for those few individuals who want to grow into meditation, into peace, into silence; and I drop all hope for humanity and all hope for this planet. It is in ugly hands and it is impossible to change those people because they have all the power. Even in my own...
... has never before seen a worse criminal in power. Adolf Hitler is left miles behind. But these names make history: Genghis Khan, Tamerlane, Nadir Shah. They have only destroyed. I am reminded about Nadir Shah - he had invaded India, and each night he wanted beautiful women and wine. The whole day he was killing people and at night, it was a celebration. One night, his soldiers brought a prostitute...
... energy and greater power - because they have to be mothers. Nature depends on them for reproduction, for life to continue. Man"s hand in life"s perpetuation is negligible. On the contrary, man has been the cause of bringing destruction and death to millions of people around the globe. As far back as you can go, you will always find man fighting. His whole effort, his whole intelligence and...
... gets pregnant, he produces either music, painting, sculpture, poetry - all that makes life worth living and all that gives life value. But very few people feel this kind of pregnancy. They are so involved in their mundane affairs - in money, in honor, in power, in prestige - that they never care that they can also produce something which will outlive them. The woman's child will have a life of...
... experience is not within your power. It happens to you like lightning. You cannot do anything to bring it back, unless you start with a device that suits you; for example, if relaxation suits you, then whenever you have time, relax - and relaxation does not mean that you have to lie down and relax. You can go on walking and relax. You can go on working, but in a relaxed way. No tension, no hurry, no speed...
... WAS ACCUSED OF TRYING TO KEEP HIS WIFE ALIVE WHILE SHE WAS DYING. HIS DISCIPLES SEEM SHOCKED AND DIDN'T UNDERSTAND. IN WHAT WAY WAS HE TRYING TO HELP HER THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO DO BEFORE SHE WAS DYING? The 1917 revolution in Russia disturbed Gurdjieff's whole work. His disciples got scattered. He himself had to escape out of Russia because the communists, who were coming into power, were materialists...
... receive him. So it will be a good chance to show his wealth, his power, his generosity. His wife could see it in his eyes. She said, "Listen, to Gautam Buddha this is just a stone; don't think that he will be impressed by it. My feeling is, in our pond in the palace, there is a beautiful lotus flower -- you should take that. That will mean much more to him than a dead stone." He said, "I...
... whatever is being said by those who have power of some kind. In this way, everybody has been distracted, derailed from his natural path. And he has moved in a direction which was not meant for him. That's why there is always anxiety, anguish and a deep sadness.
