I am not a Gurdjieff "authority", not even a scholar - but what I remember is that an "external shock" is necessary to pass the "interval". Now I'm wondering if the Universe always supplies the "shock", and it's up to us not to miss it or react from our mechanical parts. (IE: take "it" personally)

Aw, so Karen really was/is a bodhisattva. Things/experiences/people are brought to us for a reason. As far as I am concerned, my work is to never react from an ego-defensive or self-cherishing point to now. It's totally up to us to be present with all that is in the moment. Even confusion and miscommunication. It's all the path. No mistakes. I hope you and Janey get closer, she sounds really great....

And yeah, the love so strong in the heart can't be denied. My guru is in there, as well as Susan my late wife. And I discovered that I am there too. All part of why I call myself a bhakta.

Certainly everyone talked about Dede that way.
