Some Moments with Gurdjieff

Ryan said:
I thought it was very interesting that the first cathedral in the film was Auch cathedral. It would be great to know what Gurdjieff thought about it. Did he ever mention it in any of the literature published?
I don't think so, it was Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris; the exteriors are somewhat similar.

I'm pretty sure that both cathedrals are shown, with Auch being the first. The brief interior shots of the stained glass windows depicting the sybils are a dead giveaway. I tried to double-check, but it looks like the original link is dead. The Google video one still works, but the cathedral footage has been trimmed.

Well I have the video file on my computer, and I checked (I also thought it was Auch at first by the way) and the first exterior shot of a cathedral is Notre Dame because of the large rose window on the facade. We then see the steeple, the river and the gorgoyles from a higher vantage point. The following image is precisely what appears in the footage:

Notre-Dame Front

I assume there are similar themed windows in both? (BTW - I don't think I'll upload the file, it is about 90Mb)
 
What's a Gurdjief? lol....How long can I keep this up, no one knows!

That could be the case. If I get to see the video again, I'll definitely be paying close attention!
 
Thanks Craig - you're correct, it's definitely Notre Dame. Looking at it a little closer, it seems quite obvious. Maybe I was "wishfully thinking" a little the first time I saw it. :)
 
Ursus and Kyoshiro thank you very much for sharing this video and audio recordings of G. ...

... he seams to be very corpulent man ... I just thought at one moment, how that was affecting his machine? ... his body seams to be shaped like a "drop" ... last night before I fall to sleep, for some unknown reason I start to think about one student appearance form last week, who had such a similar shape of the body and movements like I recognise now in G., and in half a sleep mode, one thought was echoing through my mind, - how actually that kind of a body is in that shape due to resemblance of the "frequency shape" of that person soul ...

On video, at the moment when Annecy trip arrived, I couldn't believe it that there is a piece of a footage showing the hotel and mountains around it, where I stayed in my 2 visits to Annecy, one in 2002 and second this year, where I have been to promote 2 of my film stories at major animation festival in Europe ... And to ad to this - one film collection that I presented on 2002 is related to the interrelation of Slavic mythology and Christianity through storytelling and second has a Tesla as a story "driver" ... just to mention that it is one big area around the big lake full of hotels, and this place is not really near the city Annecy .. it is around 30km form it, on the lake ... beautiful place ... and both time I booked this hotel as that was the only one available at that time ...

Also G. reminds me soooo much of my grand grand father ... I sow him only on the photos when he was already older ... he was a "salesman" who traveled the whole Europe at the turn of 19th to 20ct selling the finest woollen cloth fabrics ... I don't know much about him, no one actually know much about him in the family, apart that he was one orphan who as a gifted child saved life of him and his brother by selling a special herbal mixture for protection from all sorts of parasites ... his name was Ilija Đordum Madunić and he had one son who was my fathers father, that I newer had a chance to know, as he died quite young, at the age of 40th.

thank you one more time for sharing this ...
