Any original thought?
Where d’it come from
Anyone had it before
Is there such a thing
Could it really be one
Is there anything new
That is not repeated
Over and over again
Like most everyone
Reinventing the wheel
For oneself — all over
Such a big discovery
Who ever can learn
From one another
What’s been found
On the cutting edge
Of consciousness
As a new revelation
That indeed matters
How one and all build
On many insights past
Combining the present
Moments for a future
More or less genuine
Original that may be
Obvious over time
In honest efforts
To be real indeed
Attentive with love.
“मैत्री Maitrī base” — the privilege of breath
A thought of Bogachevsky, Father Evlissi, an Essene
“From the conventions with which one is stuffed subjective morality is formed, but for real life objective morality is needed, which comes only from conscience.
Conscience is everywhere the same. As it is here, so it is in St. Petersburg, America, Kamchatka, and the Solomon Islands. Today you happen to be here, but tomorrow you may be in America; if you have a real conscience and live according to it, it will always be well with you wherever you may be… a real conscience, that is, the foundation of objective morality.
Subjective morality is a relative conception, and if you are filled with relative conceptions, then … you will always and everywhere act and judge other people according to the conventional views and notions you have acquired. You must learn not what people round you consider good or bad, but to act in life as your conscience bids you. An untrammeled conscience will always know more than all the books and teachers put together.”
— Meetings With Remarkable Men, George Ivanovich Gurdjieff, pp. 76-77
