I have been reading the material on Cassiopaea and Signs almost constantly since last Summer and naturally I have read much material by Gurdjieff/Ouspensky and Mouravieff. I feel that with all the knowledge I have gained and the perspective I have on life itself the only logical progression for me is to gain as much understanding of the Work as possible. I have been practicing self observation of a sort for a few years now, even before I came across this material. Today I have ordered 'In Search of the Miraculous' and a friend of mine has ordered all volumes of 'Gnosis'.
I was wondering what suggestions might be made by those of you who are familiar with this situation, especially as to which books and teachers provide the best material for practical use. I consider myself to be quite linguistically proficient but still find much of Gurdjieff's material in particular to be difficult and painstaking reading.
I have SEEN and now I want to DO. I feel that if I do not use this knowledge I have gained (other than disseminating it to others, as I do) I will have failed myself and those around me.
Thanks
