The Teachings of Gurdjieff - Part 2

[8Recon8]

thanks

[gaetanproductions]

Very interesting and clear, good on you for doing these videos

[zincfreud]

The video really explains Gurdjieffs philosophy in a way that easier to grasp, I tried

reading ouspenski I couldn't grasp it

[JamesJTraitz]

@zincfreud Good to know ...thanks

I can understand separating the 'i' in Jim, but come on - Suzy doesn't have an 'i' ....kidding :p

[andybpiano]

I've really enjoyed your videos. Understanding the subtleties and nuances of Gurdjieff's ideas and perspective isn't a very easy thing to do, even for his personal students (He's esoteric, duh!). If there was one person who ever so significantly apt to acquire "false personalities", it was Gurdjieff, (especially in some of these Youtube comments!) One could reasonably be convinced that that was his intention all along. I definitely think it would make sense on multiple levels! Thanks again.

I got chills watching this, your words hit home for me and were arranged nicely. having just moved to a new location with few friends, it has been something i've been forgetting to remember - forget the "self" and just be.

PS thanks for the videos. I did not mean to sound negative. I write from the heart !

[JamesJTraitz]

Your welcome and thankyou as well

[thesonofmetallica123]

The art of controlled folly is available to those in urban situations where the masses will gang up on individual warriors. That is a real art , to keep your heart and intention clear and focused on the Nagual, while you hypnotise the Plebians with your likeness to them. The negative rules this space and we have no rights to be spiritual hear. Like you have no right to pass through the jungle safely.This is a gymnasium for the Spirit .

[thesonofmetallica123]

In essence Gurdjeff is correct ! What maybe is not taken into consideration is the dangerous jungle we live in. Your Spiritual light shines like shit for the flies.Its a shame but i believe the closer to an honest life you come, alarm bells ring in the ears of the negative around you and they rally their considerable forces to trip you. I have observed this and so has history. Unless you are lucky enough to live remotely from the masses you will have to adopt a disguise ..........

[JamesJTraitz]

Thankyou

[MKAskina]

Jim your videos are good and straightforward.

Create more of them a tip: Explain self remembering technics

BTTHG is Beelzebubs Tales to his Grandson. 4th way people use that lettered version often.

Beginers should read Ouspensky's In search of the miraculus - fragments of an unknown teaching

I'm really enjoying these vids, Jim.  Great work. I'm gonna get hold of a copy of your book ASAP.

Beelzebub's Tales To His Grandson

[JamesJTraitz]

Of course,I've read it...not for beginers!

[kelemenj]

I interpret these videos as a concise summary of the "From The Author" chapter of BTTHG. At some level I understand that my own perspective is nothing but an amalgamation of automated responses to external and random stimuli. But I know nothing about the "I". Much work to be done it seems on my part. Paradoxically, I may be dimly aware of my unconsciessness. It's a start. Good videos. Gurdjieff tends to appeal to very few people.

[JamesJTraitz]

Thank you;I am not familiar with BTTHG,however.

[SamFreedom]

And people can begin with tolerating the weather, or something else if tolerating other people is proving too difficult at first.

[JamesJTraitz]

Any efforts applied to developing patience in the face of difficulty begins to produce results.

[yzindel]

Vey nice !

thank you and bless you Jim

Kind regards

Yvette

[JamesJTraitz]

Thank you as well...may you continue to be blessed in your life.

[Jaysnipes]

I'm glad you're still posting new videos. Great work!

[JamesJTraitz]

Thankyou;ther are 23 or 24 more that will upload ,one per week approximatley

[nextandykaufman]

i am not surprised that this video has significant meaning to the "time and place" i am in, but am amazed at how this mu-shin conciousness takes control as soon as it is applied. all i want to do is learn more about what i really am, and i hope that other people are getting as much from this as i have so far... can you imagine if the whole world was enlightened?

Thank You Jim...
