A Wisdom School at Claymont Seminars was recorded on October 26-31, 2020. This was part two of a Wisdom School hosted last year: Mr. Gurdjieff Meet Mr. Teilhard which focused on the congruence between the two teachers. This year’s Wisdom School focuses on their differences: Gurdjieff and Teilhard in Conversation, Part II: Consciousness, Conscience, and the Human Condition. A small group of 24 gathered to continue this dialogue with Cynthia.
These recordings will be available for a limited time until the beginning of next year.

- Stand Still in that which is Pure by Paulette Meier
https://youtu.be/fR0oG2kAVWAStand still in that which is pure
After ye see yourselves
And then mercy comes in
After thou seest thy thoughts and temptations.
Do not think but submit
And then power comes in.
Stand still
In that which shows and discovers
And there doth strength immediately come.
And stand still in the light
And submit to it
And the other will be hushed and gone
And then contentment comes.
