Statement of Intent
(1) Study Group Exchanges toward the Development of Active Mentation This first on-line group space is run by me, Plavan N. Go, as a place for exchanges oriented towards the development of what is termed as active mentation by Gurdjieff, which is to lead one to the formation of higher bodies of man. This begins with emphasis on solidifying the experience of establishing oneself in the third body of awareness, which may learn to stand oppose to the first body of man with its relation to the action of time and to the corresponding law of existence being reversed.
It is then followed by the more critical step of bringing it in contact with the first, a process that may be assisted by the Movements and corresponding exercises from Gurdjieff. This may eventually lead to, on one hand, the dissolution of the phantom-like second body of illusion, sometimes mockingly called the "bliss" body of man, and, on the other hand, its replacement by an outer atmospheric layer that may develop the quality of being a body of no-thingness as it begins to surrounded the void into which the results of individualized understanding seem to disappear without ever being lost. (Read "The Outer and Inner World of Man" by Gurdjieff.) TThis first online group space generally follows the format of Plavan N. Go raising questions with the supply of relevant materials, to which the participants may respond as they wish, together seeking to deepen and expand understanding through dynamic exchanges. often with unexpected tturns and shocking revelations, but not entirely illogical. Those online exchanges are to complement but not to replace the opportunities for real meeting and group practice, and so the membership is limited to those who seriously seek those opportunities along with online exchanges. A new applicant may join the group experimentally for a month by the payment of 50 euros or equivalent (payable through WISE) after gaining approval through the preliminary exchanges of messages in which the applicant is expected to introduce oneself, say something about one's life, and state what one wishes to know. Those who have spent some time productively in real meeting and group practice with Plavan N. Go in addition to participating in online exchanges, are invited to join the second online group that is more focused on individuals: (2) Focus on Oneself toward the Formation of Conscious Wish. +-=*+-=*+-=*+-=*+-=*+-=*+-=*+-=*+-=* (2) Focus on Oneself toward the Formation of Conscious Wish. While the first online group assumes a format in which you are invited to ponder over and respond to the materials and thoughts presented to you, the process is reversed in this second online group where questionings and inquiries, or the initiatives towards knowing and observing, should come from you or from your focus on yourself. The membership is limited to those who have productively spent some time in real meeting and group practice with Plavan N. Go. Exchanges in this second online group may include guidance's on certain exercises and individualized tasks. * |
