Why waste our dear Time?

Why waste our dear Time?
Next to awareness, the most important thing is time.
Try to understand what I am saying: everything is dependent on everything else, everything is connected, nothing is separate. Therefore everything is going the only way it can go. If people were different everything would be different. They are what they are, so everything is as it is.
Your #existential PSA for the day, courtesy of #Gurdjieff:
For those who work on #attention and use it in the struggle with associations, who do not forget to ‘remember themselves’– for those people attention begins to be not only the centre of life, but also the factor that lengthens it."
- Thomas and Olga #deHartmann, 'Our Life With Mr #Gurdjieff'
"Mr Gurdjieff frequently said that ‘conscious labour’ and ‘intentional suffering’, by reducing this unconscious flow of associations, could prolong life.
- Thomas and Olga #deHartmann, 'Our Life With Mr #Gurdjieff'
You can only repair; all you can do with these moments is to make them into reminding factors. And, when you remember yourself, say ‘I am’, sense your whole body, and follow your programme.
One must remember oneself, consciously collect oneself. And at the same time, if the fruits are not desirable, make them into material for remorse of conscience, for when the work becomes harder. Now, the past is finished: nitchevo.
Today exists to repair yesterday and to prepare tomorrow.
Nature is perhaps interested in there being few men on the right path.
If you wish, you can. Without wishing you never can. Wish is the most powerful thing in the world. Higher than God. Of course I speak of conscious wish; and with conscious wish, everything comes.
- #CSNott, 'The Teachings of #Gurdjieff - A Pupil's Journey'
I WISH, I can, I do.
No wish: nothing.
Our separate lives are the manifestation of some large entity.
- #Gurdjieff, ‘Early Talks,’ p.233
You mean what is the difference, what is the distinction between self-remembering and self-observation? It is the difference between observation and remembering, but the element that we always forget is the self.
