"According to Gurdjieff, the truth can be approached only if all the parts wich make a human being, the thought, the feeling and the body, are touched with the same force and in the particular way appropriate to each of them - failing wich, development will inevitably be one sided and sooner or later come to a stop." - Jeanne de Salzmann, Life is real only then, when 'I am'

"The point with these Shahs, L.R.Hubbards, Castanedas, Gurdjieffs, Rajneeshs/Oshos,..is that their powers of seduction resonate with the deeper inner needs of the potential spiritual prey.
