A 69 year old Dutch businessman sues in court to have his legal age reduced by 20 years because he identifies as 49. Hard to see how 'progressive' logic can gainsay that, isn't it?https://goo.gl/az1j9z

It's a very convenient stance. Gurdjieff writes hundreds of pages of meta-historical/social commentary. You write it all off in favor of a purely 'spiritual' interpretation because, well you just know better. It all gets reduced to something indistinguishable from, say Buddhism.

"... where Christianity went wrong..." was to pick and choose what to believe rather than striving to be able to do all that was required. Call it theological 'self calming'. Nobody thinks that 1John 3:9 means what it says. Too threatening, too demanding. Therein lies the problem

He interprets Beelzebub vis a vis his politics. We, assuming Gurdjieff to be a messenger from above, do the reverse. If one plots the path of one's inner work based on beliefs one had before embarking, isn't one doomed to walk in circles and get nowhere?pic.twitter.com/NQGobnsQHY

I guess the point where we diverge is in believing that Gurdjieff is a “messenger from above.” All arguments beyond that would be futile.

If he's not, why commit yourself to the Work at all? Since you obviously consider yourself qualified to interpret his teaching according to your own judgment, why not just skip the proxy and go with your own judgement?
