VOLUNTARY SCHIZOPHRENIA

Gurdjieff was interested in a
permanent reminding factor that
would always and everywhere,
without fail, move him to the
middle, or zero point, like a
"joker," but a harmless joker.
The intensity of this state of
self-realization experienced by
Gurdjieff was in proportion to
his preparedness for it.
Gurdjieff madly drove
himself to such a state
as "to experience feelings
alternating, almost regularly,
between remorse for the inner
and outer manifestations of
my ordinary waking state, and
loneliness, disappointment,
satiety, and the rest, but
primarily to be everywhere
haunted by the fear of
'inner emptiness'."
[page 20, LIR]

Grandiosity is one of those
inevitable involuntary manifestations
that must be guarded against if we are
to maintain ourselves as "stealthy,"
or impartial.

SO WE ROLE PLAY THE SHIT OUT OF IT!!

It is only when you
relax consciously that
your head maintains its
"role" of police officer
and it is then that
relaxation has value.
Otherwise, it is
weakness:

"Man is a plurality. Man's name
is legion. The alternation of I's,
their continual obvious struggle
for supremacy, is controlled by
accidental external influences."
--Gurdjieff
-- p 59 of In Search of the Miraculous

Real "I" by its very nature is
stealthy and totally invisible
to all other I's.

God is Invisible . . . which is
to say He does not Lord Himself
over others in terms of life of
itself, of the world of itself.

Behind Real "I" is God.

pages 4 and 5 of the
Prologue to the 3rd Series:
------
"As I had the intention of
publishing the first series
of my writings the following
year, I therefore decided,
parallel with working on the
books of the second series,
to hold frequent public
readings of the
first series.

"I decided to do this in order,
before finally sending them to
press, to review them once more
but this time in accordance with
the impressions with which different
fragments were received by people of
different typicalities and different
degrees [DIFFERENT LEVELS] of mental
development.

"A nd in view of this aim, I began
from then on to invite to my city
apartment different persons of my
acquaintance of corresponding
individuality to hear the chapter
proposed for correction, which was
read aloud by somebody in their
presence.

"At that time, I had my principal
place of residence for my whole
family as well as for myself at
Fontainebleau, but because of my
frequent visits to Paris I was
obliged also to have an apartment
there.

"Duri ng these common readings,
in the presence of listeners
of many different typicalities,
while simultaneously observing
the audience and listening to
my writing, now ready for
publication, I for the first
time very definitely established
and clearly, without any doubt,
understood the following:

"The form of the exposition of
my thoughts in these writings
could be understood exclusively
by those readers who, in one
way or another, were already
acquainted with the peculiar
form of my mentation.

"But every other reader for
whom, strictly speaking, I
had goaded myself almost day
and night during this time,
would understand nearly
nothing.

"Durin g this common reading,
by the way, I enlightnened
myself for the first time
with regard to the particular
form in which it would be
necessary to write in order
that it might by accessible
to the understanding of
everyone."

[Shiemash51]

There is a false conception that people have about me, and this false conception has not

anything to do with what may or may not be "real" and "deep knowledge" because

I think we can all agree that most of what I write HAS ALL THE APPEARANCE OF PSYCHOPATHY

since it happens to be true that the fourth way internet method has been a process for

me of self-healing, NOT TO BE "TEACHER"

OR "GURU", and I don't think anyone sees me in

that way, nor do I wish it.

[Shiemash51]

I have no doubt that the police officials who

read my work see me as a total psychotic, AND I ADMIT THAT I HAVE BEEN, SINCE MUCH OF WHAT I

HAVE WRITTEN IS TOTAL SHIT OF WHICH I READILY

AND PAINFULLY ADMIT, but, and I will say it again, the difference is that YES I AGREE, AND ALSO THE DIFFERENCE IS HONESTY WITH ONESELF . . . there is not any violence or

threats of any kind directed to anyone nor to myself, nor am I gravely disabled.

[Shiemash51]

I have said it many times in previous posts

that I only role play the "sex offendor" and I have done this for the reason that it is true that there is what is called "sex-offendor- hysteria" which started during the years when Bill Clinton became Sex-Offendor-

In-Chief of the United States.

I am speaking of hysteria

which has manifested as a

psychological illness in

America having nothing

whatever to do with

actual sex offenses

which occur.

[Shiemash51]

I have discovered role play of the "sex offendor" to be an indispensible part

of my work because it is true that I sit in

various coffee shops and restaurants around

town for hours at a time observing people

and then writing of my impressions

in connection with the ideas of Gurdjieff.

It is because of this "observation" activity

of mine that I appear like a predator, which

I am not.

[Shiemash51]

It is a fact that there exists a property,

which is inherent in every ordinary man, to whichever class he may belong and

whatever his age, that, whenever he thinks about something concrete outside himself, then his muscles instantly strain, that is

to say vibrate, in the direction taken by his

thoughts, and I have discovered from

experience that such muscular

"magnetic tension" is real. I will then

harmlessly and silently sit until that tension

passes unto liberation.

[Shiemash51]

In reality, what we are speaking of are the "involuntary manifestations" of neurosis and, as Gurdjieff said, it is involuntary manifestations that are the true cause of so-called "evil" in the world. Negative involuntary manifestations for most people are those associated with anger, resentment and hostility.

[Shiemash51]

All violence has its roots in not understanding one another. When a man acts

through violence, he acts without understanding. A man is not his size, his money, position, birth, strength, or his prestige, reputation, or distinctions,

or his religion. A man is his understanding.

A saying which is known throughout Persia:

"LET GOD KILL HIM WHO HIMSELF DOES NOT KNOW

AND YET PRESUMES TO SHOW OTHERS THE WAY

TO THE DOORS OF HIS KINGDOM"
