THE GURDJIEFF WORK
Kathleen Speeth |
|
|
The average human is functioning in an unawakened state, according to Russian philosopher and mystic George Ivanovich Gurdjieff. Psychologist Kathleen Speeth, Ph.D., author of The Gurdjieff Work and Gurdjieff: Seeker of the Truth, was raised by parents who were students of Gurdjieff, whom she met as a child. She discusses the history and present status of the Gurdjieff movement and the fundamental exercise of "remembering oneself." |

THE TRANSMISSION OF KNOWLEDGE
Claudio Naranjo |
|
|
A true teacher communicates non-verbally, by setting an example. Claudio Naranjo, M.D., is a noted psychiatrist and seminal figure in the human potential movement. He is author of The One Quest, The Healing Journey and Techniques of Gestalt Therapy and co-author of The Psychology of Meditation. He suggests that inner knowledge, or spiritual wisdom, cannot be communicated simply with words. | |

OVERCOMING COMPULSIVE BEHAVIOR
Shinzen Young |
|
|
According to Buddhist philosophy, compulsive and addictive behavior is common to all "normal" individuals. Shinzen Young is a Buddhist monk and director of the Community Meditation Center of Los Angeles. Through meditation, says Young, one learns to recognize the root cause of addiction as a lack of mindfulness. Gradually, through increased awareness, the compulsive impulse looses its grip on the individual.

INTUITIVE RISK TAKING
Patricia Sun |
|
|
Intuition functions in a holistic, non-linear fashion. Patricia Sun, internationally renowned as a seminar leader and spiritual healer, says that intuition arises from a source within us connected to the infinite. Thus, developing intuition involves opening up to one's vulnerability in the face of the infinite. Ultimately, this involves such trust in oneself that whatever may happen, even death, will be acceptable.

" The average person is driven constantly, and that quality of drivenness, which is largely unacknowledged in the so-called happy or adjusted person, is what blocks that person from experiencing the really deep spiritual self, or the transcendent spiritual experience." --Shinzen Young |
