Quote by Georges I. Gurdjieff on Truth and Self-Knowledge

„There do exist enquiring minds, which long for the truth of the heart, seek it, strive to solve the problems set by life, try to penetrate to the essence of things and phenomena and to penetrate into themselves. If a man reasons and thinks soundly, no matter which path he follows in solving these problems, he must inevitably arrive back at himself, and begin with the solution of the problem of what he is himself and what his place is in the world around him.“

"A man must first of all understand certain things. He has thousands of false ideas and false conceptions, chiefly about himself, and he must get rid of some of them before beginning to acquire anything new. Otherwise the new will be built on a wrong foundation and the result will be worse than before. To speak the truth is the most difficult thing in the world; one must study a great deal and for a long time in order to speak the truth. The wish alone is not enough. To speak the truth one must know what the truth is and what a lie is, and first of all in oneself. And this nobody wants to know." Georges I. Gurdjieff

"Fortunately, some are born with a spiritual immune system that sooner or later rejects the illusory worldview that has been grafted onto them from birth through social conditioning. They begin to sense that something is wrong, and the search for answers begins. Inner knowledge and abnormal external experiences show them a side of reality that others ignore, and so their journey to awakening begins. Each step of the journey is taken by following the heart rather than following the crowd, and by choosing knowledge rather than the veils of ignorance." Henri-Louis Bergson

"Most people, including ourselves, live in a world of relative ignorance. We are even comfortable with that ignorance, because it is all we know. When we first start facing truth, the process may be frightening, and many people run back to their old lives. But if you continue to seek truth, you will eventually be able to handle it better. In fact, you want more! It's true that many people around you now may think you are weird or even a danger to society, but you don't care. Once you've tasted the truth, you won't ever want to go back to being ignorant" Sokrates
