Gurdjieff and Ferry Corsten | Wall Street Financier: Notes from High Altitude©

” I bury the bone so deep that the dogs have to scratch for it .”
-G.I. Gurdjieff

I came upon this controversial Armenian mystic whose body of work includes All and Everything. If you’ve never heard of him, this might spark your interest:

Gurdjieff said that he had answered every question that could possibly arise in a person’s mind [Wikipedia]

In his introduction to the Beezelbub’s Tales to his Grandson, Gurdjieff states the following:

Friendly Advice [Written impromptu by the author on delivering this book, already prepared for publication, to the printer.]

ACCORDING TO the numerous deductions and conclusions made by me during experimental elucidations concerning the productivity of the perception by contemporary people of new impressions from what is heard and read, and also according to the thought of one of the sayings of popular wisdom I have just remembered, handed down to our days from very ancient times, which declares:

“Any prayer may be heard by the Higher Powers and a corresponding answer obtained only if it is uttered thrice: Firstly—for the welfare or the peace of the souls of one’s parents. Secondly—for the welfare of one’s neighbor.And only thirdly—for oneself personally.

I find it necessary on the first page of this book, quite ready for publication, to give the following advice:

“Read each of my written expositions thrice:*

Firstly: at least as you have already become mechanized to read all your contemporary books and newspapers.* Secondly: as if you were reading aloud to another person.* And only thirdly: try and fathom the gist of my writings.Only then will you be able to count upon forming your own impartial judgment, proper to yourself alone, on my writings. And only then can my hope be actualized that according to your understanding you will obtain the specific benefit for yourself which I anticipate, and which I wish for you with all my being.”

Does anyone write anything profound like this Gurdjieff guy did years ago ? In our decade ? Maybe sing it ?

How about Ferry Corsten, the House/Progressive DJ ?

Did you get the lyrics in that 2013 song, Made of Love ?

Here.

Just try to break me
Take everything away
Just try to shake me
Out of my place.

Nothing’s created
And nothing is destroyed.

Just try to tame me
You’ll never find a way
There’s no containing
And no way to brake.

Nothing’s created
And nothing is destroyed.

Take it away,
I’ll never give this up
No way to break
We’re all made of love
(There isn’t a way)

We’re all made of love. Just try to save me.
There’s nothing you can change
There’s no explaining
And no one to blame.

Nothings created
And nothing can destroy
