“In order to awaken, first of all one must realize that one is in a state of sleep.  And in order to realize that one is indeed in a state of sleep, one must recognize and fully understand the nature of the forces which operate to keep one in the state of sleep, or hypnosis.  It is absurd to think that this can be done by seeking information from the very source that induces the hypnosis.”  G. I. Gurdjieff

“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.”  G. I.  Gurdjieff
