Gurdjieff’s The Hard Way Part 2 - with Luke Behncke
The Hard Way of the Parallax Academy is participating in an experiment concerning the ability to develop a conscious, collected and collective relationship through the digital medium of the internet. That is, to work towards a conscious, individual experience of a different form of collective relationship through proven practices that, mediated by digital technology, allow a special quality of collected transmission at the speed of consciousness.
Its work is facilitated through the system of transformation brought by G.I.Gurdjieff - the “Hard Way”. For it was Gurdjieff who anticipated the need for such a development through future forms of media that could communicate, directly, with intelligences that help guide the evolution of life, and human life in particular.
