I have read Ouspensky and Gurdjieff, and I suppose that a two word essence of their aim is, "Wake up!" But we all seem prone to fall back "to sleep" again and again...it's the effort that makes life worthwhile, since the results will never be 100 percent, it seems.

I did not attribute the quote, as I want to do a post introducing Gurdjieff first, and because the ideas in this post are really not specific to G.'s teaching, but are instead quite general principles of esoteric systems. Hi Bill,

Right you are, the quoted party is Gurdjieff, as cited by Ouspensky in In Search of the Miraculous. I did not attribute the quote, as I want to do a post introducing Gurdjieff first, and because the ideas in this post are really not specific to G.’s teaching, but are instead quite general principles of esoteric systems.

I hope you continue with this line of thought. Is the quotation from Gurdjieff? You are right, 'rich' has a richer than merely a monetary sense. And whether we use your terminology or not, it is important to draw a distinction between essence and personality. Very nice post, Malcolm. I hope you continue with this line of thought.
