He likes to make sentences that fill an entire page! <BR/><BR/>However I did enjoy his particular sense of humor, and what he is trying to say is most interesting, though requires an open mind. <BR/><BR/>There are many books written about him and what he was trying to teach. Ouspensky being one of the more prolific. <BR/><BR/>Vegetables: You might want to check out this book before deciding to quit smoking.<BR/><A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0961946539/103-4818884-0351023?v=glance&n=283155 " REL="nofollow"> Slow Burn: The Great American Antismoking Scam</A><BR/><BR/>At least make an informed decision.

That's what keeps life interesting, always looking for new answers. <BR/><BR/>I have not read Gurdjieff's works, but I will definitely look into them.JoanneMarie Fausthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16751278640738482830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858236.post-1130483955756837202005-10-28T02:19:00.000-05:002005-10-28T02:19:00.000-05:00I read the Celestine Prophecy and the next one or ...I read the Celestine Prophecy and the next one or two and thought they were great, but it did start to get a bit airy fairy. It is an amazing coincidence that I ended up reading your blog mentioning it, (thanks for the words of encouragement about quitting smoking) and thinking about it. I remember that hopeful feeling I got from reading that book, that there may be a purpose given to me by my parents, something I could do for them and everyone. It's soft I know, but its better than propoganda.Vegetables Go Offhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15270057742994703460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858236.post-1130469695290104102005-10-27T22:21:00.000-05:002005-10-27T22:21:00.000-05:00Well there will always be questions, but that does...Well there will always be questions, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be answered. I think the answers should bring new questions. Have you ever read any of Gurdjieff’s books?Lookout Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13830715603754424051noreply@blogger.com
