Gurdjieff's formula: Hope, Faith, and Love

Gurdjieff shares a formula with us: 

Hope, Faith, and Love.

Hope in consciousness

Faith in consciousness

Love of consciousness

Hope in consciousness means 

recognizing that it is always 

available now, not in the future. 

We always have a chance to work, 

and it is here for us.

Faith in consciousness is beginning 

to trust that everything one 

experiences comes from the Absolute.

Love of consciousness is the state 

of being we grow into as we start to 

hold all and everything.

While We Are...

 

While we are in this body 

we can go up and down the cathedral, 

even to the tower 

where we might experience for a moment this Freedom. 

So strange that we can travel through these worlds. 

It doesn't make any sense without the light inside, 

the light inside illuminating - 

searching for the great Light.

As We Welcome...

As we welcome the Jewish Holiday of Rosh Hashanah 

and the beginning of a New Year, 

I am also mindful that this time of year 

carries the memory of September 11—

a day that reminds us of the preciousness of life, 

the fragility of our world, 

and how deeply we need one another.

May this New Year bring renewed hope, 

healing, peace, and compassion. 

May we remember those we have lost, 

cherish those who are with us, 

and work toward a world filled 

with greater kindness and understanding.

Wishing you and those you love a happy, 

healthy, peaceful and meaningful New Year. 🍎🍯✨

Shanah Tovah.

Our Mission: The Gift of Presence

The Mirror of Venus - Sir Edward Burne-Jones

Our mission is to bring the gift of "Presence" 

to as many people as possible and to deliver 

as many as possible from the lower worlds 

to a place where they can help in this great work.

I would ask each of you to speak to people 

and try as much as you can to assist in the Birth 

and subsequent growth of the School.

Speak to people in whatever way your heart tells you to.

Love,

When I Feel More Balanced...

 

When I feel more balanced, 

I breathe as though through the centers 

and silently say  “I Am.” 

When I say “I,” 

I feel the three centers 

as though something stands up; 

and when I say “Am,” 

I also feel them, 

but as though something sits down. 

When I breathe in, I say “I” 

and represent to myself 

that the active elements of

the air are entering. 

When I breathe out, I say “Am” 

and feel them flow into and fill my body. 

I do not try 

to make anything more of this “I” and “Am,” 

simply say the words to myself. 

With each breath, 

I follow this order for filling: 

right arm, right leg, left leg, left arm, 

abdomen, chest, head 

and then the whole body.
