“There do exist enquiring minds, which long for the truth of the heart, seek it, strive to solve the problems set by life, try to penetrate to the essence of things and phenomena and to penetrate into themselves. If a man reasons and thinks soundly, no matter which path he follows in solving these problems, he must inevitably arrive back at himself, and begin with the solution of the problem of what he is himself and what his place is in the world around him.”
G. I. Gurdjieff
Once upon a time Transcendental Meditation was a big thing and my best students were transcendental meditators and they persuaded me to sign up for my mantra, and I did (I’m ready to try anything). Then after you get your mantra … you’re shown a video of the Maha-rishi Yoga, the beautiful man with the big white beard who’s the founder of all this, holding a rose; and the moral of it is (he’s telling you) that thanks to Transcendental Meditation, you can get the rose without the thorns, that is, you can get the bliss without the risk. And after this beautiful video they they run around the room to ask people what they thought, and I had just come from teaching this course [Philosophy 7 - Existentialism in Literature and Film] and Kierkegaard, and I said ‘Well, uh, if the devil himself came back to destroy Christianity in the West he would look just like THAT’ [strong laughter follows]. That did not endear me to the other people [more laughter], but it is exactly what I think and what Kierkegaard would have said” Hubert Dreyfus.
