When I answered, "Yes," to my amazement he indicated the side of his brow he always offered to the children and said, "Then you may kiss me." Then equally quietly he said, "Now go" and I went back to the hotel walking on air.

"Indeed the last few days of this visit to Paris remain in my mind as a time of peace and almost continuous serenity, despite the concern that I felt for Mr. Gurdjieff's obviously deteriorating health. I had to go back to England just then to fulfil a promise I had made to my mother. I went to say goodbye to Mr. Gurdjieff after lunch and he told me, "When you come back I will tell you everything you want to know and give a box of bonbons besides." Then, smilingly, "But better perhaps I give you the bonbons now," and he led me into his office and gave me a box of chocolates. I then remembered how he had told a little boy who had been there a week or two before, that he would send some sweets with me when I went back to England.

I asked him if I might pass these sweets on to the little boy to whom he had made the promise. "No," he said," these yours - here other box for small." So I thanked him and left. Soon I found myself unaccountably in floods of tears, which I could not control. I kept on upbraiding myself, thinking," You'll be back in ten days or so." Indeed I was, but I never saw him alive again."

This is what is real. An undulating ocean in constant flux. This is the first cause of all effects. We think we see cause and effect in our world, we don't. All we see are effects colliding into each other like domino's.

You can deny this all you want. But even the gods are born from this "ground".

To deny it would be like a dog denying that it has a collar chained to a pole. You can decieve yourself into believing you have freedom by walking within a certain area. But even then you will eventually notice all you do is travel in a circle.

You must come to learn through occult practice this important Eldrich Truth:

That all a human being is, is a crack in the Universe where the Absolute manifests itself.

Haven't seen this one before. 🤔

It is impossible to overcome passion, aggression, and ignorance with a long face. We have to cheer up. When you begin to see yourself fully and thoroughly, then you discover your sense of humor. It is not the same as telling bad jokes. Humor here is natural joy, the joy of reality.
