I just wanted to write a couple of words that Universe sometimes might indeed work in mysterious ways!
I spent yesterday and a half day today on preparing documents, filling forms, running from office to office, opening a ‘special’ account … just to apply for a monthly ‘obligatory’ financial help from the state for kid (you spend the same time applying for ‘help’ and filling forms to refuse it). So I was busily running from office to office and furiously lamenting in my mind that instead of doing that ugly paperwork which will result in ‘much ado about nothing’ as ‘state help’ for kid is enough to buy exactly one pack of pampers; I should had better dedicate that time to reading as I’m deadly behind a schedule. With these angry thoughts I entered a nearby bookstore where I had to make a copy of one more document (they for a strange reason couldn’t tell you the list of necessary doc’s all at once, but instead are sending you from here to there ad infinitum). There were high bookshelves everywhere, a copier was on the right, but strangely I had to look to the left first, at the very top of the bookshelf. I didn’t see other books, vision at that moment was impaired, I saw only Gurdjieff name. That was ‘A Glimpse from the Real World’ and ‘Encounters with Remarkable Men’. I already read Encounters, but didn’t know anything about the other book. I knew that I didn’t have enough money to buy it immediately, but I checked pockets. Zeez, there was an exact sum to buy the book, not more, not less. So, in the end that angry and ‘useless’ trip to do all paperwork ended marvelously.
There is one more Gurdjieff’s treasure to explore, and besides, my son will have a pack of pampers from our 'fair and balanced' state each month! :D
Someone read ‘Glimpses from the real world’?
