Everything transforms, "no-thing" stays the same, we can see this happening all around us, visible in
the seasons change as well as the life itself..
As the years go by, we are witness to, the day turning into night, the
night into day, spring into summer, summer into fall, fall into winter,
winter back into spring. We watch a child turning into an adult, then
again sometimes near the end of life, the adult turns back into a child
again. Yet for the most part, we are not conscious of these changes and
simply ride the wheel of life, with only brief exceptions usually
created in a nostalgic moment, where we see the whole life as it was,
and not just the part in the moment.
Curiously this can be both a
painful and pleasurable moment, if we begin to see the events as they
truly were and not as we imagined them to be. Gurdjieff once explained;
"The
idea of the possibility of broadening man's consciousness and
increasing his capacities for knowledge stands in direct relation to the
teaching on cosmoses. In his ordinary state a man is conscious of
himself in one cosmos, and all the other cosmoses he looks at from the
point of view of one cosmos. The broadening of his consciousness and the
intensifying of his psychic functions lead him into the sphere of
activity and life of two other cosmoses simultaneously, the one above
and the one below, that is, one larger and one smaller. The broadening
of consciousness does not proceed in one direction only, that is, in the
direction of the higher cosmoses; in going above, at the same time it
goes below."
To remember is a good thing that we must practice at all times. As such I keep the past years posts in safe storage so that any who wish can peruse the thoughts of "yesteryear"...
