George Ivanovich Gurdjieff was an influential spiritual teacher of the early to mid-20th century who taught that most humans do not possess a unified mind-body consciousness and thus live their lives in a state of hypnotic "waking sleep", but that it is possible to transcend to a higher state of consciousness and achieve full human potential. Gurdjieff described a method attempting to do so, calling the discipline "The Work" (connoting "work on oneself") or "the Method". According to his principles and instructions, Gurdjieff's method for awakening one's consciousness unites the methods of the fakir, monk or yogi, and thus referred to it as the "Fourth Way". At one point, he described his teaching as being "esoteric Christianity".

At different times in his life, Gurdjieff formed and closed various schools around the world to teach The Work. He claimed that the teachings he brought to the West from his own experiences and early travels expressed the truth found in ancient religions and wisdom teachings relating to self-awareness in people's daily lives and humanity's place in the universe. The title of his third series of writings, Life Is Real Only Then, When 'I Am', expresses the essence  of his teachings. His complete series of books is entitled All and Everything.

When things don't go right

I wish things would work out sometimes, they do most of the time, but when it's all part of One big concept... all those small wish's that work out, need to work well for what we really need in the end, is true peace of mind, and to acquire this is basically to be free, but Ones around do not let this happen because belief's brings you back down to where all your wish's keep you in, to get out, you need to fulfill that last One that always keep's on coming back to mind, and goes over to the others side, "choices over you", it all comes down to your choices within "before hand" but when you can not do what you need to do or like to do, things go out bad in the world, and when this happens, our conscious get's guilty to what exist and has an extent to corruption. The needs augment to core but every time we go in and are not ready, they take over and bring you down "our conscious choices" from the willingness to let people help you, but screw things up more than just listen and learn. All because of One decision that we have made. It comes from within and has a beginning and an end. These decision's are not deep within the core, they are made from we/both sides of the veil, the void is all most why we have a brick wall you see, our thought create our reality so knowing what we do or keep in touch with, "awareness" that decree's the meaning of what we know, the meaning of life an augmentational status quo RRMP a Recreational base reset made by a conscious choice, "power over" builds up to something we forget... we forget whom we are because we see "experience" so much corruption it's unbearable, painful times. I guess creation's do augment to core, but for whom? and which side am I on now, it seems I have no more power, it seems I am speaking from a dark place once again, a place where we think we understand but can never show because we are not free from belief's anymore.
