Tutoring

I will start by quoting (again) Gurdjieff, one of my teachers.

“This is almost all that can be said in general about the ‘stairway’ and about the ‘way,’ because there are different ways. We have spoken of this before. And, for instance, on the fourth way there are special conditions which cannot be on the other ways. Thus the conditions for ascending the stairway on the fourth way are that a man cannot ascend to a higher step until he places another man upon his own step. The other, in his turn, must Read more Tutoring ›

In the heart of Bucharest is a small warehouse-like bookstore exclusively packed with books printed in English. Although the store is wildly unorganised, the prices are pretty decent, and it is worth spending some time digging for intellectual gold.
I bought all kinds of books, from literature to esoteric matters.

Seven-year life cycles Chart, Birth card and Ascendant

I’ve been working on this critical piece of esoteric teaching for a while now – over 8500 words and information you cannot find elsewhere. Enjoy!
(…) While these seven-year cycles are associated with specific stages of development, in the so-called civilised world, new standards have been developed and implemented. These artificial divisions and models further disconnect humans from the cycles of nature and the universe.
For instance, children are taken out of their families much earlier than they should and spend considerably less time with their parents. At a subconscious level, this can have quite a damaging effect on the further development of the individual.
A Romanian saying speaks about “the seven years from home” as crucial to developing common sense and respectful standards for social interaction, but it also defines good from bad.
