Gevork Gurjian,”Without self-knowledge”

“…Without self-knowledge, without understanding the working and functions of his machine, man cannot be free, he cannot govern himself and he will always remain a slave…

…Awakening is possible only for those who seek it and want it, for those who are ready to struggle with themselves and work on themselves for a very long time and very persistently to attain it…”

Gevork Gurjian (G.I. Gurjieff – Gevork Hovaness Gurjian) was an Armenian philosopher and mystic, founder of an esoteric movement in the 1-st half of the 20th century, and one of the most prominent and influential philosophers of modern history.
