The Gurdjieff Journal #56: Are You Occupied?

The Occupy Wall Street movement is one signal of our world's dramatic shift as it enters the technological age.  Millions of people are questioning a power structure built on rampant greed and the rhetoric of the power-possessing class.  But can any of this lead to lasting change if we ourselves are not Occupied, not self-conscious?  

For almost 20 years The Gurdjieff Journal has been exploring contemporary life in the objective light of this teaching.  Visit www.gurdjieff-legacy.org today for a complimentary first copy.

 

William Patrick Patterson's new book released: Adi Da Samraj Realized and/or Deluded?

The first critical assessment of the life of Adi Da Samraj and his teachings. Born he said in the "Bright," with his kundalini risen after only a few years of practice, Franklin Jones had a breakthrough into the pointless point of view. Young, hip, articulate and funny, this first American-born guru had a meteoric rise, bringing him thousands of seekers until the sex scandals brought a public shaming and his withdrawal to a Fijian island hermitage where he, now Adi Da Samraj, announced he was God Incarnate.
