I’ve been a student of the Gurdjieff tradition for around 30 years; have heard many similar accounts but not that particular story, Paulo. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Paulo, I have just finished your latest book, ‘The Witch of Portobello’. As someone who have rejected the official version of religion, when I read your book I sense that you are closer to…the truth maybe?…for lack of a better explanation. Your books are strange to me, but for some or other reason I find it extremely inspiring. I love how you love life. Thanks for doing what you are doing, the world is in short supply of light bearers lately, or at least I get that impression. Is there ‘any’ truth in that book? It seems as if it is based on the truth, or some truth?

Muchas gracias Paulo por estas palabras. Pienso que a veces las críticas y las palabras adversas pueden llegar a dar más fuerza al que tiene ánimo y un espíritu sincero por continuar y aprender de lo que le rodea.
Un beso,
Clara.

Dear Paulo,
this wise story reminds me the words of Kahlil Gibran that said:
Thank you ,
Love,
Chrissa

Dearest Paulo,

ahh, now this story is brilliant. It deals with the core opposites of the world- the most famous, yin and yang. One cannot live without the other, for how can one, know what happiness is, if they have not experienced suffering? How will one know love, if they have not experienced hatred, and fear? Can you see, how these extremities, were created to be inseparable..
I believe Kahlil Gibran wrote, in The Prophet,
“Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.”
“The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.”
Such beautiful words that encompass such truth..

Thank you for being.
Yajna

Bravo por Gurdjeff que sabe dar la vuelta a la tortilla y hacer que algo que se dirigía en su contra sirva al final para como ayuda a la enseñanza de sus discípulos.
Siempre me gustó gurdjeff.
