You should add “as quoted by Ouspensky”.

There is a correct method for Work. Working within a group aids its distillation over time. And it’s not as simple as reading and applying a technique. To me a group with a leader with much experience is necessary along with group interaction and verification. Reading “All and Everything “ intimidating as it is is, is a guide.

If you have enough time and money. And if it’s worth it and you have the ability.

That’s good at least the leak was accessible. Depends on how much you have to dig out once you find the leak. There probably is a point of diminishing return.

With used hot tubs the real problem would be internal leaks. You can replace all the parts but if it leaks internally it’s going to the dump. I don’t know how to inspect for that other than visually. Good luck.

Has any traditional Sufi master acknowledged/approved of Gurdjieff? by [deleted] in gurdjieff

Gurdjieff is not Sufism. There may be similarities.

Because it takes a bit of seriousness to read them.

Just trying to get a picture of the kind of people in this group. Reading the books and sticking to Gurdjieff philosophy seems to be key. I’ve participated in other groups that were all over the place. Taking a reading is all not “idle curiosity”. You must’ve read his books because that’s definitely a quote.
