#OUSPENSKY ON THE #ESOTERIC
“A man may hope to approach #esotericism if he has acquired a right understanding from ordinary knowledge, that is, if he can find his way through the labyrinth of contradictory systems, theories & hypotheses, & understanding their general meaning & significance.
The meaning of life lies in eternal search. And only in that search can we find something truly new. - P.D. Ouspensky

Since we do not realize that our house is on fire we always expect a special reward. What can one do in sleep?
- #Ouspensky, ‘The #FourthWay’
The faculty which we develop to 'read' (objectively observe) our own minds can be used to read the minds of others.
- #JimReyner, a student of #Ouspensky
He sees life in another light, not as an end but a means, & this enables him to take what happens in life so that he learns from life & all that happens in life & in this way life becomes his teacher.
- #MauriceNicoll, ‘Psychological Commentaries on the Teaching of #Gurdjieff & #Ouspensky,’ Vol. 1
The strangest and most fantastic fact about negative emotions is that people actually worship them.
- P.D. #Ouspensky
For realising our own helplessness puts us into the Third State of Consciousness where help can reach us."
- #MauriceNicoll, 'Psychological Commentaries on the teaching of #Gurdjieff and #Ouspensky’
To begin to realise one's own nothingness as a practical experience is to begin to cease identifying with oneself."

We do not see that we ourselves are something else, something different, and so we do not remember ourselves and so we are said in the Work to be asleep.
- #MauriceNicoll, ‘Psychological Commentaries on the Teachings of #Gurdjieff and #Ouspensky’ p 737
If we cannot remember ourselves once a day then we should remember ourselves three times a day. That is to say, we should make a bigger effort.

It is only when we realize that life is taking us nowhere that it begins to have meaning.

In memory of P. D. #Ouspensky, who started his next recurrence on this day in 1947.

#DOTD 1947—P.D. #Ouspensky: may all our spiritual successes be as great as his supposed failures …
We have this incurable weakness for thinking about inner values on much too small a scale, giving up too soon & paying too little. #Ouspensky called this inner search for reality a search for the miraculous. We always forget that what we are looking for is a miracle.
- #JohnSinclair, #LordPentland
And for this it is necessary to know beforehand which influence is the more profitable."
