Silencing the mind

Hi edgitarra,

I think that's an interesting transcript, and I think it outlines the need for balance when doing the work. The balances that pop out for me in that transcript are balancing interior attention with exterior attention, balancing focus on ones self and focus on others, and balancing work and play. Thanks for posting. :)

Gurdjieff did mention 3 kinds of activities to be practiced regularly. Paraphrasing, these are
- activities for benefit of the self,
- activities for the benefit of family or people close to oneself,
- activities for the benefit of a cause bigger than oneself - world/universe

Psychology says something similar as the way to lead a more satisfying life.
