    What Did Gurdjieff Say about Meditation, Frank L loyd

    Wright, Ego&Enhancement of Energy?

    "The force and degree of a man's inner benevolence evokes in others a proportionate degree of

    ill-will"- Gurdjieff

    "Evil people always hate those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum"- Earl Spencer at the

    funeral of Lady Diana

    "The Radiance of the Buddhafield irritates or depresses or upsets Negative Energy Blockages,

    and by these fruits, ye shall know them!"Satchidanand

    Masters show you the Energy Blockages of the ego. With the Meditational techniques of

    Kundalini and Blockage Busting, it should be an easy matter to remove the blockages.

    Gurdjieff, whilst manifesting himself with this inner benevolence, his radiant Buddhafield, this

    inner radiation which is called love, the energy of change, he tried in every way to de-crystallize

    the already crystallized vanity and conceit in people; and this made enemies for him.

    People forgot what Gurdjieff had done for them in removing their illnesses, their psychic

    blockages and in personal help, and remembered only their hurt vanity. Perhaps, if people knew

    that Gurdjieff was going to show them their touchy points directly then they would react in the

    correct way of thanking him for finding their energy blockages so that with advanced blockage

    busting techniques they could release them.

    However, unless people know that they need to want to lose the ego, unless they really want to

    become good people, there is no point in going to see a Master. Gurdjieff would just blow these

    bad types of people off as quickly as possible so that he would not be wasting his time.

    There is always a battle twixt good and bad in all. Most of the time people are distracted by their

    bad sides and give in to anger, jealousy and pay back. All the bad sides of the selfish competitive

    ego.

    Gurdjieff was well known for his "Toasts to the Idiots!"where he asked new students, and olderones, what kind of an idiot they were. And when they had no reply, he told them. And this

    information could tell much of the inner blockages and psyche of the student and could help him

    much. The student's reaction also revealed his inner self.

    For example, Frank Lloyd Wright, the famous American architect, was visiting Gurdjieff in Paris

    as his wife was one of Gurdjieff's pupils and had stayed with him for some time.

    One of the students there that night knew Lloyd Wright and expected to hear some interesting

    questions and answers, but he said Wright behaved like a brilliant undergraduate, and it was

    clear that of real spirituality, he knew nothing.

    He seemed to regard Gurdjieff as having achieved almost the same level as himself, even though

    knowing more about some things than he, Wright did. It is sometimes gratifying to discover that

    "great"men have their weaknesses, their vanity and self-love, the same as oneself; and, "I

    noticed that when Mr. Gurdjieff provoked Wright's prickly vanity, something malicious in me

    had a feeling of mild satisfaction".

    During the toasting of the idiots, Wright said, "Mr. Gurdjieff, I've found some of these "Idiots"

    very interesting, I've invented some myself."

    Reading Beelzebub's Tales to his Grandson to the assembled people, Wright said, "This is very

    interesting Mr. Gurdjieff. It's a pity it's not well written. You speak English very well. It's a pity

    you can't dictate. If I had the time you could dictate to me, and I could put it into good Englishfor you."

    Gurdjieff had told him to read a section of Beelezebub which was telling Wright about his own

    internal weaknesses in the guise of talking about someone else, which is the normal technique of

    a Master. Wrights selfish, vain and competitive ego could not take it.

    Then Wright said that he must stop reading because he was very tired, - which occurs when anego blockage has been encountered, - his daughter was very tired and that he had better go back

    to the hotel. Gurdjieff said, "Better stop for her sake, she is still young and only begin, but you

    are old man and your life is finished!"

    Wright got red in the face and said angrily, "My life is certainly not finished, there's plenty I can

    do yet."or words to that effect. He got up and left with his family in what is called, "High

    Dudgeon!"

    "Like every one of us in front of Gurdjieff, Wright's mask came off. Everyone, withoutexception, whilst eating and drinking with him, revealed his essential self."

    Gurdjieff says that our early education gives rise to the impulses of Vanity and Self-Conceit and

    he affirms that happiness in life and good relationships with all depend on an absence of the

    feeling of vanity and self conceit, touchiness, within ourselves. Touchiness is the symptom of a

    psychic energy blockage.

    So, one of the tests of being with a master is not to react to these tests of vanity and the ego but

    to use the reaction to clear the blockage with advanced blockage busting techniques. Your ego

    reactions will show you where the ego blockages are. No reaction to the Masters probes can only

    be achieved when the ego is no more.

    Thus touchy reactions are a tremendous help in the movement to Enlightenment, which onlyoccurs when no energy blockages remain.

    Such shocks, created by Gurdjieff, were introduced to show you your ego weaknesses.

    But very few understand the real work of the Masters which is to help you remove the blockages

    of the ego. Everything they do is devoted to that aim. And very few selfish competitive egos can

    stay in the presence of true love...

    For very deep and powerful Energy Blockages Gurdjieff said one must meditate with a Master of

    Meditation, within his Buddhafield. Let the Master do the work!

    Or one must learn very powerful blockage busting techniques. Then, like Alexander the Great,

    you can learn how to cut the blockage Gordian Knot with your Manjushri sword of Discernment!

    Usually, the necessary solution is a mixture of both being with a Master of Meditation, and

    learning advanced Blockage Busting techniques yourself.

    Work on the self requires - Gaining More Energy... Meditation, Shaktipat, Kundalini, Energy

    Circulation, The Kundalini Kriyas, The Five Elemental Paths Of The Chi Of Chinese Alchemical

    Taoism, The Grounding Of Negative Energies, V.I.T.R.I.O.L and The Art Card Of The Thoth

    Tarot, Access to more Kundalini Energy, Strong Psychic Protection, The Merkaba, Pyramid

    Protection, Power Tower Protection, Creating The Antahkarana, Soul Fusion, Monadic Infusion,

    Logos Infusion. The Painless Removal Of Stress, Trauma And Negative Emotion. And then the

    removal of the Energy Blockages of the Selfish, Vain Competitive Ego!

    Satchidanand, Director of Energy Enhancement, is one of the leading teachers of Meditation!
