G. I. Gurdjieff, Master of His House

. One Man, true man; master of his house; driver of his own carriage; teacher of the secret knowledge; enlightener who found the miraculous; the breaker of men’s prisons and permanent sleep; the opener of eyes (and I’s) – all octaves vibrate to his purpose – ray of creation bringer, guide to God and releaser of truth to all who may see; the merciless driver of self-discipline - whipping the beast until he sees,understands. But not the enforcer. Never that. Just the teacher lighting the way for the undisciplined horde. G. I. Gurdjieff is his own master; for his eyes are open. He sees the enneagram in all things. He is crystalline force of will – one with all creation; seer, doer – he is purpose. No mere man can do until he is the master of his domain. All secrets lay asleep in a prison without master – open your eyes! Master your master! Recognize no-one is home; wake-up, wake-up! See your one true self. Man One I © Kristin Reynolds 5 21 09 *Reposted while looking through my archives for a poem for chris's contest. Dedicated to G.I. Gurdjieff: Ray of Creation, Enneagram, and in search of the miraculous man.

Whoa. I need to read up on this person. I could use some enlightenment, man, woman, whatever I'll take it. If he inspired you to do this, then I am assuming the man means human in general, and I am assuming it is powerful. Like this brilliant creation. Love, Shar
