"THERE DO EXIST ENQUIRING MINDS, which long for the truth of the heart, seek it, strive to solve the problems set by life, try to penetrate to the essence of things and phenomena and to penetrate into themselves. If a man reasons and thinks soundly, no matter which path he follows in solving these problems, he must inevitably arrive back at himself, and begin with the solution of the problem of what he is himself and what his place is in the world around him. For without this knowledge, he will have no focal point in his search. Socrates’ words, “Know thyself” remain for all those who seek true knowledge and being."

Are You Aware of Yourself In Movement?

Gurdjieff Movements demonstration, NY 1924

It was often noted that Gurdjieff moved like a cat. What was the significance of this observation? Can we know it in ourselves? 

Every day, from the moment we rise from bed to the moment we close our eyes to go to sleep we are in movement ~ and we are in movement in our sleep ~ internally and externally.

Do we know this every moment of every day ~ are we aware of ourselves like cats are?
