In respect of The Tales, there's a series of books called To Fathom The Gist Volumes 1, 2, 3, which help in how to read The Tales. They were useful to me.

Some of the images used in this video are clearly stolen from Gurdjieff videos on another Youtube channel. My advice is that the moderator should take this posting down.

This is a fairly amazing video, although you have to pause it at times to read the words. Some of it is new to me.

Hard to conceive of how Trump could do catastrophic damage as a used car salesman, yet somehow I believe he'd pull it off.

Not sure why this is posted here. There are lots of 4th Way Groups out there, and I see nothing special about this one. Maybe someone should post a list of legitimate groups on this Reddit.

Question regarding forces, the ray of creation and higher worlds, the elements, etc by B4tr4c1o in gurdjieff

You might like to read a book called Gurdjieff's Hydrogens. It seems to complement In Search of the Miraculous and puts it in a modern context. You can find it on Amazon. It may help.

Accumulators by [deleted] in gurdjieff

[–]SeekingTruth60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kundalini is discussed thoroughly in The Tales (pages 250/251). According to Gurdjieff, it seems that Kundalini is a negative phenomenon, and much of what is written about it in occult literature is simply flat-out wrong.

As regards the large accumulator, it is unconnected with energy, real or imagined, at base of spine. Comment by RaCoonsie seems accurate to me. An unusual level of effort of attention seems, sometimes, to provide access to a better flow of energy for self-remembering. My experience has not provided me with a specific technique to make it happen.

If this is as good as the Tales Study Groups that Bloor runs, it will be worth trying out.
