Riclapaz, as Joe said, your post is a prime example of reading your own stuff into things; probably more of a self-mirror. Let me point out things that are missing:

Hi everyone, thanks for sharing this session
After reading the session repeatedly, I would like to come up with some ideas, please take them with a pinch of salt, and a little patience,
i really have faith in the process:
If I had to put a name to this session, for me it would be a MIRROR session, mainly for Laura and the group, who are the ones who would take the responsibility of the conduit to SAO, it seems to me that the hidden message could start with the greeting, similar salutation and I have not found it (it is appreciated if someone is kind enough to find it) it is as if another energy were present, some answers seem that they were already in the subconscious of the present and were not the Cs who were giving the answers:
You protest too much; you have NO faith in any process.

Session Date: October 14th 2017
Laura, Andromeda, and Artemis at the board
Pierre, Joe, Chu, Ark, Mikey, Scottie, Niall, Opal the Majesticat, Noko the Wonderdog, Princess Leia
Q: (L) This is October 14, 2017. [Review of those present] Anyway, here we are.
A: Good evening kinder! Zillineaea of Cassiopaea family.
Quoting the above is something of a non-sequitur considering your preface. However, we had recently had a visit from a whole crew of German speakers and Data, being Austrian, speaks German as his first language. The Cs have also many times used similar greetings.
So, what's your point other than an effort to criticize because you have a beef?

(Ark) We had these strange events... There were a number of events recently, like 10 days or so, which were kind of unusual. Sometimes for me they were mysterious, like disappearing things … like in a different reality or something. And then we had our cat that somehow went on the tree and we didn't see her for an entire day. Well, finally she was found in the tree. There were booms, explosions; breaking of electrical lines by digging; Cherie injured; the peacock sick. So, nothing really terrible happened, but it could happen. So, the question is: Is there any meaning that we should be aware of in this sequence of events?
In many cultures cats are represented as beings who see everything, does it seem that the cat really felt something "evil" in the house?
What you are missing here is the fact that the cat was in heat.
I would be embarrassed if I were you.

(Pierre) The Enneagram the way the C's define it finally, is similar to the whole cosmogony that Gurdjieff developed, this mechanistic cosmogony. I find two major flaws in it. First, everything is reduced to mechanics. There's no more soul, consciousness, or spirit. Plus there's a breach of free will in his way of trying to spread this knowledge. Not hypnotizing people without their informed consent is of prime importance, and he did not respect the free will of his followers.
I think this point is quite important for the work of this forum.
Laura said:
(Mikey) How much of Gurdjieff's teachings came from mediums as opposed to transmissions of a tradition?
A: 83 percent
Q: (Andromeda) That's a lot.
(Joe) 83 percent from mediums that he didn't have any real control over.
I wonder if there is any type of "shielding" when making contact with the Cs, ie the contact can be made for either side, for both SAS or SAO?
The game becomes more and more interesting, if it is not certain that it is SAO, is it possible that the contact is with SAS ? Or a combination of both?
So, basically, you are saying that it's not the Cs, it's STS coming through based on what?
Again, I'd be embarrassed if I were you assuming you have done the recently assigned reading exercises.

Q: (Ark) He was a really tragic figure for me because he was smart. He was observing things. He was so above all these people that he had NO HELP from anyone because...
(L) No one was equal to him.
(Ark) Yes. But on the other hand, he was not looking for help I don't think... He thought he was above everybody.
(L) He WAS above everybody, but because he knew he was, he cut himself off from the help that he could possibly have gotten. A network of others to give feedback is invaluable. That is one thing the Cs have taught us.
And this includes us all.
So, basically, in a not so subtle way, you are saying that the critique of Gurdjieff is STS??? That we are all way below him, so how dare we question him?
riclapaz said:
Laura said:
(Joe) He defined the human problem really well, but he didn't have a proper context in which to put it. A spiritual context.
(L) Well, let's face it: neither did we. When we started talking to the Cs, the kind of stupid, ignorant, New Agey, Madame Blavatskyite kinds of things I would ask...
And if we continue incarnated here, apparently there are still more lessons to learn.
No doubt, but following on from all you have written thus far, you seem to be pointing this at me/us specifically.
riclapaz said:
Laura said:
(Pierre) You know, if you put it back in the context of the 1930s... Gurdjieff's alone, doing all what he did, writing those ideas he had, by himself... In this context, it's an amazing achievement. This guy is a genius.
(Joe) Yeah.
(Pierre) But maybe he fell for the main threat that looms over the heads of geniuses: ego.
Without the help of the Cs, would I really follow the ego so high in us? If we remove the Cs, what's left? what would be the lesson?
See previous response. And that induces me to ask: why are you even here?

Laura said:
(Artemis) Since you spoke of dreams, I wanted to ask: I had a dream about somebody trying to break into our house. Was that a vision, or just symbolic, or what was that dream about?
A: Reflective of attempts of agents to direct negative energies of chaos.
Has anyone noticed that they are giving the same answer from the start?
Has anyone noticed that you are suggesting the same things over and over from the beginning? So I'll do the same and ask: why are you here?
riclapaz said:
Laura said:
Q: (Artemis) Can the same be said about the dreams I've been having - and I don't want to creep anybody out - about the devil coming?
A: Yes
And again the same answer? If I dream of a demon, I would be looking for something more than just say that they are the energies of chaos, that would be to enter a bubble where only angels exist and demons never exist?
So, maybe you should do that? Our experience has been that asking these sorts of questions and receiving answers has acted as a great protection under conditions you can't even imagine. When you have a body of work and a track record of working for others 24/7 for 20 years, come back and have SURVIVED, come back and talk to me.

(L) Keeping late hours, never sleeping... Oh, and that was another thing! He thought that sleeping was a complete waste of time, and we know that sleeping is when your soul recharges itself. He thought that dreams were a sign of something wrong, and we know that dreams are important. Yes, dreams can be used to program negatively like via 4D STS or whatever; but we also know that they are big clues or cues. They can be prophetic, they can be profoundly revealing. Jungian analysis demonstrates the value of dreams.
(Niall) Dreams can tell you that something's wrong, and it's not that they, in themselves, are wrong.
(L) Yeah, these wonderful Jungian explorations. That's when you come into contact with the greater part of your soul or soul group. So Gurdjieff got a LOT of things really mixed up because...
We are supposed to be experiencing duality in incarnations, that is, the battle between "good" and "evil" is always in us, if at certain moments we lose the battle and it is the evil who wins, as would be the answers given by the Cs, what orientation would the Cs be? Even further away who would be giving the answers? I ask because there are several clues on this, for example Barbara Marcianick, that the Cs confirmed that they were no longer with her what would be the reason?

Obviously, your recent experiences in the private forum, from which you were removed, have colored your perceptions, opinions, etc. That's understandable. But then, to quote Gurdjieff:
"It often happens that, having stopped before some barrier, usually the smallest and the most simple, people turn against the work, against the teacher, and against other members of the group, and accuse them of the very thing that is becoming revealed to them in themselves.
"Sometimes they repent later and blame themselves, then they again blame others, then they repent once more, and so on. But there is nothing that shows up a man better than his attitude towards the work and the teacher after he has left it. Sometimes such tests are arranged intentionally. A man is placed in such a position that he is obliged to leave and he is fully justified in having a grievance either against the teacher or against some other person. And then he is watched to see how he will behave. A decent man will behave decently even if he thinks that he has been treated unjustly or wrongly. But many people in such circumstances show a side of their nature which otherwise they would never show. And at times it is a necessary means for exposing a man's nature. So long as you are good to a man he is good to you. But what will he be like if you scratch him a little?
"But this is not the chief thing; the chief thing is his own personal attitude, his own valuation of the ideas which he receives or has received, and his keeping or losing this valuation. A man may think for a long time and quite sincerely that he wants to work and even make great efforts, and then he may throw up everything and even definitely go against the work; justify himself, invent various fabrications, deliberately ascribe a wrong meaning to what he has heard, and so on."
"What happens to them for this?" asked one of the audience.
"Nothing—what could happen to them?" said G. "They are their own punishment. And what punishment could be worse?
