"Because of his reputation, people rarely came into contact with an individual named Gurdjieff; they met instead, the image that was already created in their minds." ~ Fritz Peters

DISCLAIMER: I have learned that my blog has become popular enough to engender the theft of the names "LaloBlogs" and "LaloBean". FYI: 1) I do not have a You Tube Channel in which I favorite "sexy" videos, etc, 2) I am not a young Mexican male of questionable moral character with a cadre of cohorts of equally questionable character and morals, 3) I am definitely not a 21 year old fem fatale free spirit on face book 4) I am not a clever dog that does fantastical tricks for my master.

"The 13th"

To Mr. Gurdjieff




~*~
With eternal gratitude

"The 13th" (of January) is the date people of the Work gather together all around the world, en mass, to honor Gurdjieff. We celebrate his life, and remarkable deeds and works for humanity.

"Man lives his life in sleep, and in sleep he dies. As a result of this condition, each person perceives things from a completely subjective perspective. Gurdjieff stated that maleficent events such as wars and so on could not possibly take place if people were more awake. He asserted that people in their typical state function as unconscious automatons, but that one can "wake up" and become a different sort of human being altogether." ~ George Ivanovich Gurdjieff
