HOLEH! I most likely would have jetted this book across the room had I been sitting down to read it myself. It’s interesting to “listen” to though. I’m finding myself having to “relax” on many levels or listening with more than my ears or mind in order to absorb it. How interesting! Good for you for getting through this out loud!
Yes, it’s quite a particular writing style, but like you say, and Gurdjieff says, it’s not the Bon ton literary style and requires efforts. The story will begin tomorrow 🙏

Yup, I am also doing something very different. I found a loophole within he religious, philosophical, and irreligious world combined. I now bought an entire library of all our root systems to prove it. It is a method and path that isn’t a philosophy and furthermore cannot be unsaid by another. I agree to expand and to not conform… although, my path kinda does conform to everyone while being different at the same time.
I have made a few video in the ‘Syncretic Sayings’ playlist about this topic. It is how I too approach the spiritual path. Can you share some of the books you brought that are most interesting to you? ❤️📚

@@bookclub5291 I also like other books that aren’t necessarily wisdom books. Some of my favorite books were Harry Potter, the Hobbit, the Lord of the Rings, the chronicles of Narnia, the count of Monte Cristo, and the princess bride. But two of my top books are the Enchanted Forest chronicles which was a kids book series but is still good as an adult cus it is a funny well done story followed by my favorite over all, the dark elf trilogy. It’s a very deep book, the character is filled full of wisdom when you read is diary in between the story. Periodically like three or four times the author writes his main characters thoughts as a diary. Drizzt Do urden was the first time a character from a monster race was made into a good guy. This was revolutionary and unheard of back then. You’ll find out more about this story when you read the forward I think. His secretary originally thought he was joking. The first books in the series was called the icewind dale trilogy where Wulfgar the barbarian was supposed to be the main character but ppl loved drizzt so much that Wolfgar took a back seat.
On a more serious note, I HAVE heard of Gurdjief, but until THIS video/audible reading, never really paid any close attention to him or his writings. 😶
Being new to Gurdjieff’s ideas, you may want to check out Ouspensky’s wonderful book, in search of the Miraculous, which we have also read on the channel. 😀🙏 th-cam.com/play/PL0L0onrHik1vkLmBSVQ8fttdSqk2wynO9.html&si=2kryJnKnavNW4ROq

Education is free. It's our time. Equal Opportunity not Equality of Outcome. That is fair, justice & balance. ⚖️
It doesn't feel like work to me. Not at all. That doesn't mean it isn't hard. It is hard but not work.
It's a pleasure.
Bravo!!! Thank you.❤
