The bloggers have launched their blogs

We have now three individual Blogs on the site; they are called (listed here in the order they were started):

These blogs are not meant to be a repetition of the ideas of Mr. Gurdjieff, but instead to reflect some discoveries those following the teaching in their different ways have made through their own experience.

Spiritual Archeology is a study of the following items newly discovered and expressed in the language of today:

  1. Fairytales
  2. Myths
  3. Art
  4. Architecture
  5. Music
  6. Literature
  7. Dances
  8. Rituals

It is sometimes astounding to see the discoveries archeologists are making in our days, whether digging in the Gobi desert and finding remnants of apparently western civilisation or in places where culture has existed for thousands of years - as an example of this can be mentioned the Nag Hammadi library - but have only been "unearhed" in our time.

Often these are explained to be remnants of a cult or sect and also as places of "ritual worship of unkonwn Gods". Spiritual Archeology goes further and tries to find out the meaning of the findings and verifying the truths found.

In addition to discoveries in the outside world the Spiritual Archeology that I suggest further studies

  1. dreams
  2. imagination

in the way they were defined in the work of C. G. Jung; in other words this is also an inner study of the unconscious, which according to G. I. Gurdjieff should take part in our normal state, the waking consciousness.
