Summing up the Summer Theme of Wholeness

"...circumstances may change but you will be the same unless you work. ...Change is the result of consistent effort."

The Fourth Way by P.D. Ouspensky

"If a man gives way to all his desires, or panders them, there will be no inner struggle in him, no 'friction', no fire. But if, for the sake of attaining a definite aim, he struggles with the desires that hinder him, he will then create a fire which will gradually transform his inner world into a single whole."

In Search of the Miraculous by P.D. Ouspensky

P.D Ouspensky was a student of and wrote about the teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff.
