WHAT IS A HIGHER STATE OF BEING?

Picture
In delineating the states of consciousness possible for men and women,
Gurdjieff indicates that in our waking hours
we live and function in a state of hypnotic sleep.


Through intentional efforts to experience the truth of this statement
​we may begin to discover what it is to truly awaken.

 
 **********
"We believe that to awake is to enter into an entirely
 different life, which will have nothing in common with
 the one we lead. But, in fact, awaking means, above
 all, to awake to ourselves as we are, to see and feel
   the sleep, the identification."
 

                                                                                      (Jeanne de Salzmann; The Reality of Being)
