Hi everyone,
I have read all of Laura’s articles and books at least once and working on twice for the major works such as SHOW and the latest Wave additions. I also have read most all of the work available for Gurdjieff, himself as well as interpreters of his teachings by others who were became “spin offs”, Mouravieff, Ouspensky, Jean Vaysse and Madame Jeanne de Salzmann to name a few. I have also read most all of the books on the reading list and have purchased them. I am lucky to have many of the above in pdf form. My eyes are bad and enlarging the font on my computer has been a blessing and also allows me to cut and paste thoughts together from the sources.
Predictions for me and I assume for many 3D humans can be very addicting. However, as I have grown and learned from the reading material and interaction of the folks active in the forum, predictions stop our minds from going any further. It is very hard not to want the definitive truth about where we came from any why we are here. But I have to constantly remind myself that I will not know until I die and even then I may not know. The “Journey is the Reward” and when I live that reality, the end does not matter.
I came on Half Past Human and Cliff High via this forum. I have his last two webbott publications and looking forward to his latest when I came afford it. I have also listened to his webcasts. He clearly states in his disclaimers that one should not take anything he says as the truth or real or correct. However, it is very hard not to get caught up in his “predictions” especially with dates and time frames stated. For me, he comes across as sincere and humble. He is human just like all of us with souls. I am assuming he has a soul. Anyway, like all of the information I read and consider, his data analysis of the linguistic trends resonates with much of what I move to my column of possibilities that connect to dots in all the other things I read or research.
I think the possibility of the Wave event, WWIII, if we are not and have not been in it since the end of WWII and/or a Meteor or Comet event could come today or even 50 years from now. What I do feel certain of is that they will happen. What I don’t know is when and where I will be or if I will be in a place to observe. So, I try each time I want to know definitively when to guide myself back to the presence of the “Journey” to greatly reduce the fear of not knowing when. i hope that made sense.
Finally, to criticize his enthusiasm (bravado) or his time frames(predictions) is a waste of time for me. The essence of the whole Half Past Human information as it resonates with my work is more important in my opinion.
