From Self to Cosmos: Gurdjieff's Vision in 'Beelzebub’s Tales'

We focus on George Ivanovich Gurdjieff's seminal work, Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson, a part of his trilogy All and Everything. This text provides deep insights into Gurdjieff’s understanding of spiritual progress and offers a unique perspective on self-identity within the context of self-spirituality and Western esotericism. Through the narrative, Gurdjieff presents a cosmological model known as the "Ray of Creation" and introduces the concept of the "Kundabuffer", a unique organ implanted in humans to distort their perception of reality.
Furthermore, the episode explores how Gurdjieff's ideas on the necessity of conscious effort for spiritual development contrast starkly with modern passive existences, where individuals react automatically to external stimuli. His teachings emphasize the transformative potential of embracing rigorous self-examination and disciplined spiritual practices.

I love the bat necklace, Angela! Also, I find really intriguing the philosophical idea at the beginning about how our identity is ever changing. Memory is our constancy. "Each one of us is made up of ten thousand different and successive states, a scrapheap of units, a mob of individuals." -Plutarch E at Delphi

🧘‍♂ Brilliant, Dr. Angela! Learnig about that fellow through academic facts here in your Symposium is sucha an experience! 🧘‍♂ I like to watch the videos of you scholar and academic people because you make think and tell me about the who, when, what and how.

Someone remind me to do some Gurdjieff readings because I've got all the books from him and several about him. Ouspensky's "In Search Of The Miraculous" really moved me when I read it (and I still have it there somewhere).

[CynthiaJohnsonofmany]

Thank you, Angela; This was very interesting!

[svipdagx]

Gurdyev, great topic.I tried to read him(pt.1), and all i remember is him, in supergreat letters, saying"YOU ARE ASLEEP!, and i got mad.Stopped reading.Avout the asteroid, i did not know...but he had his enchanting moments, there's wisdom there.And he's not very known.He deserves better.

[KyleWhiteandfriends]

Subscribed! Dr. Angela, you are my Goth crush, and Gurdjieff is my favorite mystic of his era. I'd love to see some videos on Dr. Maurice Nicholl and Ouspensky, who took his ideas in Beelzebub to psychoanalysis and Kant respectively. 142857

My analysis is of the earlier work, as in Ouspensky's ISOTM, most of which I've sourced.
