Jacob Needleman - Gurdjieff: A Life in the Work

Jacob Needleman in our fourth conversation with Michael Lerner. Gail Needleman performs selections of the Gurdjieff music.

Jacob Needleman has a unique way of bringing to life some of the key ideas of this teaching, from a felt and being sense so that it reverberates inside you in the same way. There is much here to get an inkling from the depth of this teaching, not only through the sheer power of the spiritual tenets expounded upon, but through the heartfelt and embodied presence of this man who has given his entire life to understand, live and transmit this teaching. The piano piece is played to almost perfection.

@@NewSchoolCommonweal Thank the for sharing this. Woke up today and knew something different was going to happen! 02:08:23 And not just the Sun being out for the second time in months! Getting ready to do laundry, up popping a Gurdjieff dance troop i 👁 subscribed to year's and years ago. But haven't heard or seen anything from until this morning. The demonstration was filmed from last year but only posted today! Then up popping this, your post of this lecture! Here you are with the Teachings that i👁 was so dedicated to for so many years. Then 15 years ago found myself out in the middle of the Labyrinth of Life, Like many folk's did at that time! With questions and confusion and an economic crisis caused by greedy investors and banks! Everything fell apart for millions. It was like a global financial Tsunami! Then we faced this Global pandemic and the lockdowns then debated the vaccines! Anyway i 👁 truly learned many deeply brutal and enlightened lessons during these past 15 year's! Have come through, survived stronger, calmer and more forced about everything. Even despite the ongoing Threat of a 3rd World War, or the Ukrainian war to develop into the use of Nuclear weapons! Very troubling! But I stay grounded. Because for me losing everything and everyone, for a period of time, and being out in the wilderness, alone, had a deeply profound effect on me. Really help me see, like truly see and feel everything again, like a child, but differently, to be elevated, and a transformation of Heart, Mind, Spirit and Soul occurred! Being taken down to ones knees and having to stand up alone and walk strong and tall will really open your eyes! So today having my, our, beloved George Gurdjieff, pop up, with his music, his dances and now these lectures, is like having a someone and something that i 👁 truly loved, returning from a long voyage, at exactly the right time! Feeling so blessed! Yes, totally agree, listening to the music, and doing the dance movements are wonderful ways to connect with Gurdjieffs work. The dances are like a moving meditation! Okay, Thank you again. Namaste! Bless your heart and Soul! Sorry if this was too long of a comment. Truly grateful that you have shared these lectures! 🇨🇦🐈

I feel deeply grateful and indebted for your uploading all these conversations with Professor J. Needleman. Here, it is written that this is the fourth conversation, and I have listened only to other two: one titled "Time and the Soul: A Spiritual Biography", uploaded on 2/8/2015, and a second titled "Who Am I? Why Am I Here?", uploaded on 15/12/2015 ; so, obviously, I miss one the four conversations for which, I must confess, I am craving to listen to. I also must confess that, for the last 3-4 months, I can't help watching and listening to these three videos, every day (honestly, every day) almost learning many passages by heart and seeing (amazed) the impact and the influence that this man exerts on my existence. I am yearning to finding the fourth one that I miss... I wish I could meet this wonderful person face to face and live his presence and be taught by him, but it is impossible as thousands of miles separate us. However, I am deeply, deeply grateful to Pr. Needleman and to your channel. I already have bought 3 of his books, translated in greek, and have ordered many other of his books in english from Amazon, looking forward to their arrival to Greece. THANK YOU, from the deepest of my heart, both to NewSchoolCommonweal and Pr. Needleman!!!

Had to chuckle at Jacob's initial difficulty understanding Lord Pentland. I had jumped at the chance of getting a copy of Exchanges Within, consisting of questions and and answers over several decades from the West Coast groups and LP. Imagine my dismay at finding the same puzzling barrier. After some time and much personal reorientation, a small breakthrough appeared and has continued to progress and even broaden. But it also becomes clearer that even when the "how" is known, that only means the work is just beginning. Thanks for the company!

His level of self remembering, utilizing shocks, overcoming sleep and mechanization, crystalizing into man #4 and beyond? Haven't heard anything yet. Gurdjieff was very focused on results. And just as I would get pointing out instructions, in the Buddhist world, from someone who already has achieved a level of awakening and non-duality above mine, I would like to receive Gurdjieff's teachings from someone who has awakened through the fourth way.

Hi Sir. Is he awake? Intermediate awakening is possible for everyone. But the great awakening is for few. It is true that the flow of thoughts does not stop. And the man in his ordinary state of attention is incapable of noticing and getting rid of it. Deluded, he lives under the belief that he is master of himself - mere illusion. He doesn't realize he's just a machine reacting physically, emotionally and cognitively to the world around him. Absorbed by passions, urged and sustained in turn by the ceaseless activity of the thinking, he follows his life asleep - infinitely distant from God and at the same time one step away from Him.

What I learned from G work: The moment a particle is a wave; it has to be a conscious wave! Gravity is the conscious attraction among waves to create the illusion of particles, and our experience-able Universe.

We are "It", experiencing our infinite possibilities in our finite moment. Our job is to make it interesting!
