Thread Name: BS: How can we restore a reason renaissance
Subject: RE: BS: How can we restore a reason renaissance
I probably never mentioned my philosophy since it is a work in progress.
I never met Gurdjeiff but I met his wife on opening night of his dramaticized biography. Gurdjieff believed that people cannot perceive reality in their current condition because they do not possess a unified consciousness but rather live in a state of a hypnotic "waking sleep". "Man lives his life in sleep, and in sleep he dies."
In an ironic twist I used hypnosis to wake people up. (metaphoricly)
Gurdjeiff had practices to wake up consciousness such as stopping what ever you re doing and examining the moment, he called it the 4th way.

Nowadays we have an awareness of a probable unified conciousness as well as the internet. We are making progress...
