the problem I see is that many take the ’impartial’ and think it means ‘indifferent’ Gurdjieff was certainly not indifferent to the suffering caused by the forces=whether caused by cosmic forces or not——we certainly need to resist being hypnotized by the shit show—since it is designed to do just that—but to think that just sitting on our cushion and sensing is in some way going to affect the cosmos is both a cop-out and and nonsense in a way-’received wisdom’ that is not provable——Gurdjieff -after a dinner-gave sway the left-overs to the occupied people of Paris—and really scolded a follower for not feeding a group of starving youth—who came up with this ;amendment excuse that hey made him angry because he could not help———we are meant to respond to the suffering caused by these so-called ‘cosmic or planetary forces—that is a function of conscience—-if there is imbalance in the greater cosmos—acted balanced (and merciful) in your local cosmos—-lighten the suffering of our common father
