Time is the most important thing next to #awareness. The flow of #time through us gives us an opportunity to extract what we can ... Time does not wait for us to catch everything in the stream, but if we catch enough we shall have enough to ... become enduring.

I beg myself as well as my readers not to mistake understanding for attainment; and not to imagine, on the strength of their realisation of certain truths, that they possess them, or still less, that they can use them.

We fish in time's 'ever-rolling' stream; what we catch is ours, but what we don't is gone. Time does not wait for us to catch everything in the stream, but if we catch enough we shall have enough to form the higher bodies–and thereby become enduring."

Contemplation is contact with thought-forms left by other beings interested in objective reason but no statement can be understood without the effort of conscious assimilation. When that which is known is also felt and sensed, we have realization.

One of the extraordinary things about the Method is that, by its use, a change to normality is brought about indirectly. Through self-sensing, self-remembering, self-observation, a change is brought about in the organism as a change is made in certain chemicals if a catalyst is present.

The psychological human being is a human being with a passion for understanding. The prime need is the presence of that active passion for understanding. Why?

Being has to do with the feeling center and depends on knowing and doing. It is the result of the struggle between the affirming and denying parts. "A being is one who feels," and is therefore to be graded by the range and intensity of feeling.

#ARORAGE ON PONDERING
"Pondering is answering questions from essence and answering them practically. One-half the energy of a human being must be spent internally pondering. One-third of one’s time should be spent in pondering.

Gurdjieff, New York, 1924
