'Remember Yourself Always and Everywhere.' - George Gurdjieff

#gurdjieff #remember #consiousness
Self-awareness is one of the most important skills that a person can possess. Without it, we are at the mercy of our subconscious mind and our emotions. We can be easily manipulated and swayed by others, and we are more likely to act impulsively without thinking things through. In this video, we point out Gurdjieff's warning to remember ourselves and the importance of self-awareness.

One of the most famous quotes from Gurdjieff is "Remember yourself always and everywhere." This quote is often interpreted to mean that we should be aware of our thoughts and actions at all times. However, Gurdjieff's true intention was for us to remember our true nature. We are not our thoughts or emotions; we are not the products of our environment or our upbringing. We are something much more than that.

When we remember ourselves, we become aware of who we really are. We see through the illusion of who we think we are and come to realize our true nature. This is an essential step in personal growth and spiritual development. Without self-awareness, we can never hope to reach our full potential.

Self-awareness is not something that comes naturally to most people. It takes effort and practice to develop this skill. However, it is well worth the effort as self-awareness leads to greater peace of mind, increased clarity of thought, and improved decision-making.

If you find yourself forgetting to remember yourself, don't worry. Just keep practicing and eventually it will become second nature. And always keep in mind Gurdjieff's wise words: "Remember yourself always and everywhere."

The dread you get when you realize that you been falling asleep so subtle, from the very beginning.

Remembering yourself is a strange way to put it. Isn't it all about being conscious of one's thoughts, actions, and emotions in the present moment?

Most of us would say that they already are conscious of all this, or would admit that they are not, Or get angry.
All answers are rooted in the same delusion, that we Know something. Our perceptions are divided by the "I" thought we have created throughout time. This "I" thought sustains the "machine", it gives fuel to the primal urges. Once there's understanding of this, perhaps there's much more emphasis on awareness in one's life, as it is seen that this machine works in a very subtle way, subconsciously.

Is this pretty much Gurdjieff's "philosophy"?
