The post yesterday got a few likes and am assuming this is because people are encouraging me to share what, if anything, Gurdjieff wrote about Krishnamurti. Well, he did write something, an entire chapter in one of his books, obviously not because he was inspired by Krishnamurti, but as a kind of compassionate warning as well as a precursor to what came afterwards, and, as said, there needs to be a set-up, in this meaning arranging preceding information in such a way that the readers unfamiliar with G’s quality of material and his particular style of writing will be able to grasp the inner nuance.
Ancient or not so ancient riddle: “Why is 6 afraid of 7? Answer “:Because 7 – 8 – 9,” which could be taken to imply that the material which proceeds other material does on some level function as a framework for what is not necessarily consciously intended but often just happens to be mechanically elicited response/movement (thought being also seen as a form of movement), which reaction can devour potential, Anyway, it is unlikely the case but am hoping the likes are because people are encouraging me to write about using the study of word construction to increase understanding.
The plan is to write more frequently, which material I encourage the reader to ponder, as it is designed to, if actively assimilated, produce an inner substance which can be a rare kind of food. And yes, Krishnamurti did talk — imo give lip service to — using thought as a tool. Actually people already are using thought as a tool but often not in the most comprehensive way. So what is a more effective way/weigh? Sometimes it is necessary to wait/weight. So, since stopping can be seen as a form of measurement/containment in that movement is involved, how would this work in relation to time, tie/m or tie/em? How can it possibly be used?
Gurdjieff talked about what he called a third force, and what is the possible meaning? I will at present postulate — something to do with the middle (way) :-)….
