Episode notes
Memetic Alchemy
- Gurdjieff's philosophy involves "memetic alchemy," combining different impressions and sensations to create new mental mixtures.
- Information density from higher forms of philosophy and art can alter the mind and thinking.
Shocking People Awake
- Gurdjieff aimed to shock people out of their "sleeping state."
- This aligns with his and Ouspensky's fusion of Eastern and Western mystical thought in the Fourth Way.
The Fourth Way and Mystery Schools
- Gurdjieff categorized mystery schools into three types: fakir (body), yogi (mind), and monk (emotions).
- He believed the Fourth Way combined these, offering a more harmonious internal development.
