(L) The question asked on the forum: If Gurdjieff was so advanced, how could it be that he was so inattentive that he got into a car accident?
A: He wasn't "so inattentive". He was aware. It was at the point he became fully cognizant of the forces which he had hitherto considered less capable than they actually were.
Q: (L) In other words, he knew more or less what kind of forces there were, but he miscalculated in assessing their capabilities. Is that it?
A: Yes
Q: (L) And after that, he made a lot of changes. I felt like there was something else to it.
(Ark) I don't understand. You drive a car, right? And you hit a tree. That means you are thinking about something else. He was not concentrating.
(Pierre) Not necessarily, Ark. You can hit a car...
A: Due to energetic draining via associates.
Q: (L) So if they can't get a person directly, they can get to them through people close to them.
A: Yes
Q: (Ark) It's still not clear. If you have an accident because someone hits you, alright. Something worked on this someone, this someone else was a tool. But you go on an empty road, you and only you are responsible for what you are doing. And then, at certain point, you decide to hit the tree. It means that you are not yourself. You are a tool.
(Pierre) Maybe he didn't decide to hit the tree.
(Data) There was a car coming out.
(Ark) No, there was nothing. At that time?
(Joe) Very few cars on the road.
(Pierre) Maybe we could ask.
(Data) It was an intersection, and the car came out of the intersection.
(Ark) No, that would be a completely new theory.
(Pierre) What caused the accident then? Did he fall asleep?
(Ark) He hit the tree! Like this guy who crashed and died in front of our house.
(Pierre) But in that case, there was this energetic distortion: negative energy hitting the "protective bubble".
(Ark) Maybe he was drunk?
(L) Was he drunk?
A: No
Q: (L) Was there anything mechanically wrong with the car?
A: Yes
Q: (Niall) He asked somebody to check the car beforehand.
(L) Was it the mechanical thing that caused the accident?
A: Yes
Q: (Ark) Alright.
(Pierre) And actually, maybe this mechanical defect was caused by this energetic thing that was going on.
(L) Associates... Whoever worked on the car. Was it somebody who worked on the car who was acted on?
A: Yes
Q: (Pierre) So you had this guy doing mechanics who was messed up by higher STS forces, and he forgot to tighten a screw or something. He asked his car to be checked before. So now the question is: Did the mechanic do it intentionally, or was he just distracted and made a mistake?
A: Neither.
Q: (L) He didn't do it deliberately, and he wasn't distracted...
(Galatea) He was possessed!
A: Close
Q: (Pierre) An entity controlled the guy and pushed him to create a fault.
A: The very fact that the car was recently checked should raise suspicions rather than be used as evidence of mechanical correctness.
Q: (Ark) I want to make it clear what was Gurdjieff's fault? Was he driving unnecessarily fast?
A: No
Q: (Ark) What could he have done better than he did?
A: In this case, not much other than be his own mechanic. (...)
