Mr. Gurdjieff and Mr. Teilhard in Conversation: Part II


This recording is part of a two-year Wisdom School series entitled “Mr. Gurdjieff Meet Mr. Teilhard.” The first year focused on the congruence between the two great teachers. The audio below is from the second Wisdom School, Part II, which focused on their differences looking at consciousness, conscience, and the human condition.

These unpolished, unedited recordings are available to the Wisdom community for free. Our thank you to Bob Sabath for recording these sessions held at the Claymont Retreat Center. A donation for use of the resource is always appreciated.

  • 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.
