RE: Why Aren't You BEING All Those Things You Say You "Really Want to Do?"
Ah yes, Gurdjieff... learned quiet a bit from his teachings during my "Enneagram and Fourth Way phase," many moons ago.
What Eckhart Tolle more recently calls "Sitting in your painbody." People are very attached to their painbodies... I catch myself sitting in my own and have to consciously extract myself.
On a large scale, it seems like humanity does itself a huge disfavor by — in many ways — making it "noble" to suffer, and "indulgent" to be content. But I shall not get started on religious dogma here, because this will just become insufferably long!
I find that there are still depths to be mined when I listen to the audio version of All and Everything. As far as pain is concerned, I am very observant of how attached some people are to their suffering. "Without my suffering, who would I be? I'd be nothing!"
