Good Morning, Csherwood across the Sea,
\nHow invigorating it is to have all these voices arising and interacting.\u00c2\u00a0 I feel the Muse of Time is speaking in the multiplicity of our voices.\u00c2\u00a0 Your querry about our Moon took me back to an author I studied three decades ago and who indirectly led me to Buddhism: George Gurdjieff.\u00c2\u00a0 His central premise was that humanity has fallen into such deep unconsciousness that the one remaining avenue by which we can be pulled out is through a “pang of conscience”.\u00c2\u00a0 His writings then set out to destroy our illusion that we are already awake and promiced that he would supply the true path to awakening in a third series of writing.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t think he ever did supply it, but it made me look around for the wisdom traditions that already exist on our planet, which do supply guidance through this strange circumstance of finding ourselves embodied in a world.\u00c2\u00a0 Speaking of our planet, our world, and our moon: Gurdjieff said that all processes take place within a Law of Seven, where the next group of seven (misical octaves, etc) start over on a higher level in another group of seven.\u00c2\u00a0 And as with an octave in music, where there are two places within the seven that correspond to semitones, energy must come from outside in order to push the evolution forward.\u00c2\u00a0 In the solar octave, which includes Earth, Sun, and Moon, the envelop of life around our planet represents a semitone between our Earth and our Moon.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Much of what Gurdjieff wrote remains in my head, not as a guide or even an inspiring invocation to awakening, but I still look at the Moon as a presence that anchors life around me and within me, urging a movement in Time to join hands with others within a greater environment. -Michael<\/span><\/div>\n

PS–following up on your wish that there could be a forum for TSK Inquiry available to a community in England, one of the members in our current on-line class, David Filippone, has made available just such a website:

\nIt’s worth checking out, not as a replacement to this one, but as a TSK discussion area that is available to anyone with internet access,\u00c2\u00a0through all the phases of the Moon.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
