Exploring the Teachings of Gurdjieff: INNER UNITY BEGINS WITH WHAT AND WHO I AM
These topical exchanges are for those interested in learning about the ideas of G.I. Gurdjieff, a teacher who emphasized that, as we are, we are not completed beings, that we remain unaware of our potential for transformation.

About the Event
Even though man is in a state of sleep and his so-called autonomy is nothing but reactivity, the substances in him are not inert; they live, they vibrate. ... Here at last we discover the secret of the impulse calling us to evolve, the reason for the nostalgia that torments us and which we must translate into acts rather than laments.
When we ask ourselves what is meant by "awakening" and "sleep", we find their meaning by becoming aware of – or by being unable to live – the way we are constituted, and by discovering these substances in us, their relationship, their connection and disconnections. At the same time, it becomes clear to me why I am cut off from myself. Fragments seek to reconnect, but their conjunction will not in itself produce, by mere addition, this “I” to which I aspire. However, unless they are reunited, the essential condition for the manifestation of this “I” will be lacking.
