Psychic Abilities, Anger Issues Close and Confuse (Gurdjieff)

"I learned lots more from tennis, too. My reluctance to bend my knees told me I was too aloof. I didn’t get down to other people’s level. On the basis of this insight, I took the flower essence Water Violet, which is for aloofness and condescension, and gradually my stiff knees softened. I started listening more to the viewpoints of those who were doing the practical work, and my effectiveness as a leader improved. I am convinced that this sort of work is preventive medicine and that without it I might well have ended up with seriously disabled, arthritic knees. ” (2)


I ask the reader to give a lot of thought to how this Water Violet and its interior structure allows energy and the brain to access and alter its normal approach. Gurdjieff learned a technique of body positioning which is here in his descriptions of the field of play in tennis. I think the discipline of Gurdjieff’s body movements which he said allowed programmed people to access their soul or spirit far more than logic was drawn from the same source that brought the Mutras and Mudras to ancient classical cultures like India and Greece. I deal with these sources in my book Diverse Druids.


The Chakras:


The Mudras activate brain lobes and can balance the flow of energy between these parts of the brain. Much of the science of mind has been well developed in Eastern thought over many millennia before Christ. There are whole books and maybe one could fill a whole library such as your local public library with the books written about or inspired by chakras and the ‘chhi’ energy they deal with. Here is a little more about the Third Eye or thalami related chakra from our Duke University Doctor quoted above.


“Intuition and the Third-eye Chakra
There’s no element to go with the sixth center—though there is a subtle flame often depicted here, meant to light the inner world seen by this other, inward-looking eye. While fire {Raja or Agni Yoga accentuates this aspect.} at the third chakra denotes sharpness of outer vision, the domain of this sixth chakra is seeing within. This is the center of intuition, of inner knowledge.


By trying to limit this capacity for knowing to the world of material phenomena we do energetic violence in this area. We suffer accordingly from sinusitis, visual problems, and sleep disturbances. This is the home base of the intellect, but its proper role is that of assistant to the strong currents of inner-based perception, the gnosis that comes from a connection to the Infinite. It’s not really meant to shoulder the burden of existential knowledge supported only by the limited world of physical phenomena.


The appropriate function of this center is seeing by allowing, not by manipulation of the endless minutiae that we regard as ‘intellectual.’ Unfortunately, unresolved issues associated with the chakras below pull energy here out into thoughts and behavior and into involvement with the world in ways that drag the intellect along. This obscures the otherwise clear vision of the third eye, and if there is a heavy emotional charge attached to these interactions with the world, they may color even our most intuitive perceptions.


If the intuitive process is consciously brought into play at all, the result can be less-than-accurate ‘psychic’ reading on the situation. Only when the lower chakra issues are brought fully into awareness and to resolution—‘lived through,’ when necessary—does the vision of the third eye clear. Barbara Brennan, whose healing work with energy is widely known and respected, tells of her experience with this process: {Biblio: See her book Light Emerging: The Journey of Personal Healing, pages 266-67.}


Just as she was beginning to access intuitive information about other people and enjoy the status of being ‘a psychic,’ her teacher, Eva Pierrakos, told her that she was too angry inside to handle the challenge…” (3)

Gurdjieff On Self Remembering

When Gurdjieff speaks of Self-Remembering, how can we explain this in terms of the Laws of Quantum Physics?

The Laws of Quantum Physics tells us that there exists an infinite ocean of thinking, intelligent energy that we call the Quantum Ocean. It is the Mind of God.

Everything that ever was, is or will be exists there. There is no time, no past present nor future. There is only the NOW.

There is nothing that exists outside the Quantum Ocean, Mind of God. All Universes are there, all religions are there, all great teachers are there also all of Gurdjieff's ideas and teachings are there. The Circle of Conscious Humanity is there. Gurdjieff is there also. Even if he 'blinked out' of the Quantum Ocean and took on a new incarnation, he is still there with his work.

This is part of the mystery and beauty of the Quantum Ocean and the Laws of Quantum Physics; all possible Gurdjieff's are there.

And all possible 'you's' and 'I's' are there. But what is important for us to understand is that we need to work on the "I" that has taken on a physical life. The "I" that has 'blinked out' from the Quantum Ocean that contains all our possible "I's."

This will help to understand what 'Gurdjieff meant by 'Self-Remembering' and 'Inner Separation.' Remember that we are individual "I's."

We must constantly remind ourselves with 'Self-Remembering' that this physical, emotional and mental world we see, feel and think we know all around us is a Matrix (Structure) of all the thoughts and feelings of the collective Unconsciousness of Humanity.

Gurdjieff says it is a trap. When someone says they are trapped, they are implying that they are being kept or stopped from going somewhere else. If you and I are trapped in this Collective Unconscious man-made matrix, where is it we should be going to if we could get out?

We should be going to higher levels of Consciousness, to higher Realities, to higher Worlds. Gurdjieff shows us with his Ray of Creation that the planet Earth is very far down on the Scale of Creation. Conscious man should strive to move upwards.

This is what we should strive to , Self-Remembering at all times. Thoughts, feelings and events are not of our doing. They are just a place where we are. The place where we live. We are not this place and we should not identify with it.

We should learn to observe it, to look at it as if it were a stage, a play and everyone is an actor, including us. We are the actor, not the play.

When we use our powers of 'Self-Remembering' what else does Gurdjieff tell us we should do?

We as individual souls within the Mind of God need to build a second Reality within ourselves. We need to build an inner separation from the world of the Collective Unconscious all around us and the world belonging to the Conscious Circle of Humanity.

The Conscious Circle fo Humanity are those humans who have "Come ye out from amongst them!" Those who have become completely free of the pulls of the Collective Unconsciousness. Instead of moving to higher dimensions and higher worlds, they have made the decision to stay here on Planet Earth and help us to evolve and grow.

Why do they do this? Because others have done it for them.

According to Gurdjieff's "Work" we are to 'Self-Remember' that we are not the thoughts, feelings or actions all around us. We are 'observers' of this physical Matrix with a higher Goal.

We 'Self Remember' and then create an 'inner-separation' within ourself for the "Work," teachings and for the guidance that the Conscious Circle of Humanity sends to us. We must have a space within ourselves to receive and store and work on this guidance.

This is the same inner transformation that all the Ancient Wisdom Teachings talk about. Be in them, not of them.
