Gurdjieff's The Hard Way Part 2 - With Luke Luke Behncke
WARNING:
The practices of relating and communicating that are foreign to normal experience are difficult because their field of action operates in the unknown.
EXPERIMENT
The Hard Way of the Parallax Academy is participating in an experiment concerning the ability to develop a conscious, collected and collective relationship through the digital medium of the internet. That is, to work towards a conscious, individual experience of a different form of collective relationship through proven practices that, mediated by digital technology, allow a special quality of collected transmission at the speed of consciousness.
Its work is facilitated through the system of transformation brought by G.I.Gurdjieff - the “Hard Way”. For it was Gurdjieff who anticipated the need for such a development through future forms of media that could communicate, directly, with intelligences that help guide the evolution of life, and human life in particular.
The experiment commences in early March 2024 for three months. It will be documented, with activities and exercises that provide the opportunity for participants to contribute to the results of their experiences for research and study purposes. Only select material will be published on participant consent.
EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST
For those interested in participating, some familiarity with Gurdjieff’s material is essential, and a mature, open and critical mind is vital. Participants should aim to challenge and verify everything for themselves and commit to responsible efforts, accepting nothing less than what they deeply wish for.
Please contact Mr Andrew Sweeny at andrewpgsweeny@gmail.com from the Parallax Academy to register interest by the close date of 29 February 2024. Successful applicants will be notified of further details.
Price 500€ - A few scholarships avaliable on request
