If we cannot connect with the simple and organic sensations of our bodies, the most intimate and tangible thing we can know, then we have literally no hope of connecting to anything or anyone else.
Gurdjieff speaks with piercing clarity: we are not merely flesh and thought—we are vessels for the transformation of energies. This is the fundamental truth of our existence. And yet, within this truth lies the only real choice we will ever face: Will we shape these energies consciously, creating the luminous path of spiritual ascension, the birth of a Soul? Or will we remain blind, enslaved to the currents of unconscious involution, spiraling downward into the abyss, where our very Being is shattered, lost to eternity?
This struggle is not personal alone; it is written into the destiny of our species. The forces of evolution and involution rage within us at all times. No one is exempt. If we do not cultivate the awareness to recognize, harness, and direct the energies within us toward Soul creation, then those very forces will turn upon us. What could have been light will become shadow. What could have been wisdom will become madness. What could have been love will become war.
And so, history repeats itself.
There is no policy, no philosophy, no treaty that will ever end war. Those who believe otherwise are tragically mistaken. War is not a political failure—it is the inevitable consequence of a species that refuses to awaken. We cannot fight shadows on the wall while ignoring the fire within. If we are to end destruction, we must turn inward, en masse, and take responsibility for the sacred task that has been given to us: the conscious cultivation of our energies, the forging of the Soul.
This is the Great Work. This is the battlefield of our age.
Every human being stands at the threshold of the same question: Will you fight the spiritual war, or will you become a casualty of the earthly one?
Choose.
Humans have a great destiny, our purpose is to be the harbringers of Heaven on Earth, otherwise, we will turn Earth into Hell.
