8' - Beelzebub's Tales to his Grandson

These excerpts from notes on Gurdjieff's Beelzebub's Tales detail discussions within Gurdjieff's Institute in the 1920s. The central theme is the development of human consciousness, exploring concepts like the three centers (intellectual, emotional, and instinctive), the need for self-observation, and the overcoming of ingrained limitations. Gurdjieff's system is presented allegorically, using fantastical stories and cosmic imagery to illustrate psychological principles. The notes also examine societal influences on individual development, criticizing the shortcomings of various systems of thought. Finally, practical exercises and methods for self-improvement are discussed, aiming to foster a more conscious and meaningful existence.

Om Podcasten

"Alchemy of Self" is a transformative process of personal growth, akin to how alchemists sought to turn base metals into gold. In a metaphorical sense, it refers to refining the human spirit, mind, and potential through self-discovery, learning, spiritual or psychological evolution, and/or working directly with a Teacher. In this series, famous and little-known texts about money, mind, and spirit are transformed into AI-based conversations that lead (you) the listener on your own inquiry. Listen carefully, let questions arise, and engage what you hear - now.
