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.
You have crossed the “beginning” line at the starting gate. The gates to the new pathway into the unknown have closed behind you and you have moved onto the pathway, now walking it and moving deeper into it. You have made decisions and choices. And these choices are about moving into the new and creating the new, changing yourself and old habits patterns and rituals by looking at them and your attachments and at what was old. You have asked yourself, does this resonate for me? And you have come to the decision that it doesn’t and now realize you are walking into the new. The gates have closed behind you and are now locked. You know that going back into the old is no longer a viable reason for recreating it. You have made the decision to walk amongst the energies of the new. And you are finding that these energies are new, and as you walk among them you give yourself a chance to release remnants of the old. It is as if you are creating a chemical reactionary conclusion. What We mean by this is, the chemicals or the new energies from outside of you are now mixing with the old energies or the chemicals coming up inside of you. And this mixture for some becomes quite volatile. The old is now coming to the fore and you find that you are no longer able to control anything. It is completely about surrendering to “what is” and this is most important now. What is? Where am I? It is now a moment-to-moment existence. Being in the now consistently. Where am I? What is? So continue asking yourself this.
A Full Blue Moon in Aquarius…….. What does that mean? A Blue Moon is when there are….. 2 Full Moons in one month. This can be a very spiritual/psychic moon…….. because one of the meanings of a Blue Moon is: that it gives us the ability to cross dimensions. It also can signify an unusual event…… a “once in a life time” event. Actually a Blue Moon isn’t necessarily that rare……. as a Blue Moon happens every two to three years. But the traditions and attention that it receives….places it in the arena of a “Mystical type of Moon.” Giving us the ability to pull that mystical energy…… into our thoughts and creations……while guiding us in releasing things/thoughts/energies… from the past on all levels. With Aquarius….remember that the main focus is not just on yourself…..but on others…..the Tribe…..the Community…..and Humanity. The last Blue Moon we had was in August of 2012. Was there something special that was happening in your world in August of 2012? You might be given a “wake-up” call, a “pop quiz”, or a nudge…. during this Aquarius Full Blue Moon…. referencing back to August of 2012. The Next Blue Moon is January 2, 2018.
Full Moons are a time of releasing. It is a time of releasing the old that is no longer working. Go deep into yourself, your foundations and old perceptions and observe what is no longer working for you. What is no longer vibrating where you are vibrating? It is a time of purging and releasing in all areas of your life. Remember that this Aquarian Blue Full Moon….. last a day and half (or 2 days as some are now saying) on each side of the peak.
