Gurdjieff & Uncertainty

What is certainty? A fixed notion? Does being uncertain equal being in question?

The lastest issue, #51, of The Gurdjieff Journal is now out. The cover essay, Certainty in a Time of Uncertainty delves deeply into these questions.

How to learn to be able to stand “on the cliff edge of the certainty of uncertainty?”

Also a great piece addressing certainty/uncertainty by James Opie in the Spring 2010 issue of Parabola entitled “Does Something Within Us Know More Than We Do?” The article references Eric Hoffer’s “The True Believer.”

Aim & Approach

Basics
An aim of this blog is to help question my assumptions. Likely, that part of me that thinks he "knows," will appear quite often. So another aim is to see those assumptions. And question those assumptions. The approach will be to explore various topics that are of interest. Perhaps eventually there will be constructive feedback and questioning from you the readers.
