I once asked Mme #deHartmann if there was a prayer for people in the work. She said, 'Yes, I asked Mr. #Gurdjieff the same question and his answer was, 'Thank you, Lord, for giving me one more day to work on myself.'

Now ’tis the spring, and weeds are shallow-rooted;
Suffer them now, and they’ll o’ergrow the garden,
And choke the herbs for want of husbandry.
Suffer them now, and they’ll o’ergrow the garden,
And choke the herbs for want of husbandry.

I yearn for my work, because it always helps me make sense of things. For never was a horror experienced without an angel stepping in from the opposite direction to witness it with me.

Awakening is possible only for those who seek it and want it, for those who are ready to struggle with themselves and work on themselves for a very long time and very persistently in order to attain it.

On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, everything that led to the Holocaust is in danger of being forgotten.
The Nazis channeled the demands of oligarchs, scapegoated minorities and replaced democracy with a new imperium. Those politics are returning.

Hypocrites—a nest of vipers! Like all narcissists, they aren’t “people” and we make a mistake when we take the bait of their fake empathy. We never trusted them again—we either regulate and tax them into submission or we will lose everything actual people have gained in the last century.

All the goodness and the heroisms will rise up again, then be cut down again and rise up. It isn’t that the evil thing wins — it never will — but that it doesn’t die.

That which has happened is a warning. To forget it is guilt. It must be continually remembered. It was possible for this to happen, and it remains possible for it to happen again at any minute. Only in knowledge can it be prevented.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.
The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.
History is repeating. Pay attention.
