“The difference between objective art and subjective art is that in objective art the artist really does ‘create,’ that is, he makes what he intended, he puts into his work whatever ideas and feelings he wants to put into it. Read more The difference between objective art and subjective art
“Knowledge is one thing, understanding is another thing.
People often confuse these concepts and do not clearly grasp what is the difference between them.
Knowledge by itself does not give understanding. Nor is understanding increased by an increase of knowledge alone. Understanding depends upon the relation of knowledge to being. Understanding is the resultant of knowledge and being. And knowledge and being must not diverge too far, otherwise understanding will prove to be far removed from either.

“Man such as we know him, the ‘man-machine,’ the man who cannot ‘do,’ and with whom and through whom everything ‘happens,’ cannot have a permanent and single I. His I changes as quickly as his thoughts, feelings, and moods, and he makes a profound mistake in considering himself always one and the same person; in reality he is always a different person, not the one he was a moment ago.

“Evolution is the result of conscious struggle. Nature does not need this evolution; it does not want it and struggles against it. Evolution can be necessary only to man himself when he realizes his position, realizes the possibility of changing this position, realizes that he has powers that he does not use, riches that he does not see. And, in the sense of gaining possession of these powers and riches, evolution is possible. But if all men, or most of them, realized this and desired to obtain what belongs to them by right of birth, evolution would again become impossible. What is possible for individual man is impossible for the masses.” (Gurdjieff)
Life – and for that matter evolution – is an upward spiral.
But if we loose perspective, the spiral will be reduced to a circle and we’ll be trapped in a loop of a false reality called “living in the now”.
Today is the result of yesterday and tomorrow will be result from today.
Trapped “in the now”, living exclusively the present, you will repeat the same day each and every day like in a matrix.
Do you wanna live in a circle or spiral?
Do you wanna be a slave or your own master?
You wanna do your life or you wait that life happens to you?
Modern civilization is based on beautiful words, ignorance and slavery.
“Man is surrounded by dreams . . . Purely subjective pictures — either reflections of former experiences or reflections of vague perceptions of the moment.”

“Even an insignificant change in our senses will significantly modify our perception of reality and our world.”

In order to know, you have to be first. But you can’t be while you don’t do anything and everything just happens to you.
Our world and our whole life is determined by a dualistic model of existence.
We are living and we are educated and cultivated to think, believe and live by this dualistic model.
I think this dualistic model it’s fundamentally wrong and basically this system keep us prisoners in a false reality.
Actually the universe is based not on two, but the existence of three energies (forces).
To entangle things further more, two of the basic energies of the system were exchanged, so right seems wrong and wrong seems right, creating more confusion in the human mind. Read more Gotta Serve Somebody?
