Zen, Yoga, Gurdjieff- perspectives on inner work: Inner and outer meaning in Zen Gardens, part IV—Christian analogies
http://zenyogagurdjieff.blogspot.com/2015/08/inner-and-outer-meaning-in-zen-gardens_7.html
Zen, Yoga, Gurdjieff- perspectives on inner work. Friday, August 7, 2015. Inner and outer meaning in Zen Gardens, part IV—Christian analogies. The connection between the expression of the inner and the outer in Zen gardens and Christian practice is perhaps far from obvious, until one understands perspectives on body and emotion in the two practices. In Christianity, the fact that one reaches towards assistance from Christ in the receiving of the body and blood is an acknowledgment of our helplessness....

Zen, Yoga, Gurdjieff- perspectives on inner work: The third obligolnian striving: an inner meaning
http://zenyogagurdjieff.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-third-obligolnian-striving-inner.html
Zen, Yoga, Gurdjieff- perspectives on inner work. Monday, July 20, 2015. The third obligolnian striving: an inner meaning. 8220;The third: the conscious striving to know ever more and more about the laws of world-creation and world-maintenance.”. It’s this sense of verticality, which does not belong to or come from me, that begins to restore an inner order; and indeed the laws of world creation and world maintenance do in fact turn on this receiving of a higher influence (or inflow, as Swedenborg c...

Zen, Yoga, Gurdjieff- perspectives on inner work: Straw brooms
http://zenyogagurdjieff.blogspot.com/2015/07/straw-brooms.html
Zen, Yoga, Gurdjieff- perspectives on inner work. Saturday, July 11, 2015. I just completed a three-day trip to Kyoto, during which we visited several important Zen temples. This is not my first trip to Japan, but it is the first one wholly for recreational purposes; and it did not disappoint. One thing that becomes more and more noticable to me, visiting various religious sites, is how domesticated. Note: Only a member of this blog may post a comment. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Zen, Yoga, Gurdjieff- perspectives on inner work: The inner landscape
http://zenyogagurdjieff.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-inner-landscape.html
Zen, Yoga, Gurdjieff- perspectives on inner work. Thursday, July 30, 2015. When we talk about spiritual work, we rarely encounter the idea of our inner being as a landscape — that is, an environment populated by an extraordinary diversity of flora and fauna, all growing things in constant movement and interaction with each other. That a child is introduced to are (one hopes! If we saw our inner being in its constantly transitional state, understood the organic nature of being which we have already receiv...

Zen, Yoga, Gurdjieff- perspectives on inner work: Inner and outer meaning in Zen Gardens, part I
http://zenyogagurdjieff.blogspot.com/2015/08/inner-and-outer-meaning-in-zen-gardens.html
Zen, Yoga, Gurdjieff- perspectives on inner work. Saturday, August 1, 2015. Inner and outer meaning in Zen Gardens, part I. The Dharma Hall is an empty hall, covered by tatami mats. There may be a few paintings decorating the hall, but otherwise, it is simplicity in its essence: a great emptiness which is filled only with the bodies of meditating monks. Taken as such, the Dharma Hall ultimately represents physical being, as opposed to the intellect (which it houses) — and the emptiness of the hall ...

Zen, Yoga, Gurdjieff- perspectives on inner work: This is it
http://zenyogagurdjieff.blogspot.com/2015/07/this-is-it.html
Zen, Yoga, Gurdjieff- perspectives on inner work. Thursday, July 9, 2015. An observation I made in Japan last weekend. I think most of us on spiritual paths share a secret conceit that we are going to become better. In the course of our journey, we think we’re going to become nicer. more compassionate, more serene. more thruthful, sincere and virtuous. The process of spiritual awakening will guide us into a new and improved Being in which we act honestly and treat others better. I awaken to myself as I am.
