Self Observation and Self Remembering in the Gurdjieff Fourth Way Work (an Introduction)

The practice of self observation and self remembering are an integral part of the practices associated with George Gurdjieff's 'Fourth Way' (often referred to as 'The Work'. However, I noted that there wasn't a lot of practical material on the Internet for anyone who wishes to understand how to self observe and self remember. I recorded this short video to serve as an introduction to these two practices (which go hand in hand). I've taken care to not introduce any of the more complex concepts in order to facilitate an easy beginning for anyone who wishes to grasp the method behind these two practices. Self observation requires you to observe the different parts of your being that make up the whole - your physical body, emotions and mind. Gurdjieff typically refers to these different parts as 'centres' and outlines seven of them in all (although that is a topic for another video). By persistently observing the different manifestations that arise in your physical body (such as sensation and movement), emotions (such as happiness, sadness, desire or fear) and thoughts, one begins to collect objective data on the kind of manifestations that occur in everyday waking consciousness. Typically, we are unaware of ourselves as these manifestations play out - this is where self remembering comes into the picture. Self remembering is based upon the astonishing objective truth as declared by Gurdjieff - that man is in a state of deep sleep and what we take for waking consciousness is actually just another state of unconsciousness. Gurdjieff asserts that in everyday situations, we are unconsciously driven through unconscious associations arising within our body, emotions or mind. We are never really present to ourselves; i.e. we are never fully conscious of the different parts of us that make up our whole in everyday life and we tend to take it for granted that we are always the same person that is fully in charge of our body, emotions and mind. Persistent self observation quickly proves the fallacy in this assumption. Persistent self remembering begins to remedy this gap by bringing the observer into the foreground so that an actual sense of 'I' begins to emerge that is increasingly present to our otherwise unconscious manifestations. This video offers practical advice to anyone seeking to better understand how to begin practicing self observation as well as self remembering. The two definitely go hand in hand. That said, they are difficult practices and this video also offers practical advice on how to get started as well as how to avoid common pitfalls that one encounters along the way. I hope you find it useful. Like, comment, subscribe as I plan on regularly adding material to my channel on the practical aspects of the Fourth Way work as well as other spiritual practices and esoteric subjects that have long held my interest. The Fourth Way is different from the three other ways in that is a practical combination of the ways of the fakir, monk and yogi in a manner that allows the adherent to work towards attaining a higher state of being and consciousness while playing a role in everyday society. I have recorded other videos on each of the ways which you can find on my channel and which might also be useful for anyone interested in understanding the difference between Gurdjieff's method and the others. #gurdjieff #fourthway #selfobservation #selfremembering #enneagram #meditation #consciousness #3nn3agramm3r
