I read gurdjieff many years ago and felt like he was being a prick to his students.

It wasn't until con-vid that I understood what he was doing.

He was trying to see how much bullshit these students would follow until they said no.

He was disappointed because most blindly followed his crazy exercises without question.

He was right, man is a machine, even when he thinks he is connected to god, etc. It's only when one realizes they are a machine, they can try to not be a machine. He mentioned how many are asleep, dreaming that they are awake and true awakening involves seeing the "terror of the situation". Sounds like today, to look back at how we have been lied to for decades about viruses and other things that we blindly followed without question.

We see that today, with people robotically following orders that contradict themselves.

Very few question the crowd group think, atheist or religious.

It's a circle jerk of trust in others that make people forget to trust themselves.

This is what the predator class has been using to control people. Edward Bernays turned it into a "science" of propaganda/advertising.
