the maker and the saint...
quote:
" The difficulty is that we become lost in the wave of Being, of living; we forget ourselves, we forget, in the midst of the activity that direction and speed impart, our own essential nature. As Gurdjieff put it, we become identified; our identity is absorbed by the wave of our lives. And this is exactly how it's described in uncertainty theory; as we decrypt the information about our forward movement, we encrypt the information about our nature. The opposite is also true. One can thereby either become a master of the world, of outwardness in forward motion; or a master of the inner world, a saint. The problem is that the master of the outward is a puppet of circumstances; and the master of the inward suffers from terminal myopia. A balance is necessary."
