George Ivanovich Gurdjieff – teacher of a sacred dance

So, what kind of spiritual teacher is Gurdjieff? Teacher of a sacred dance. The son of a Greek father and a Armenian mother. Powerful combination.


Till he became a spiritual teacher, he travelled a lot, searching his own teacher and his mission. He traveled in Central Asia, Egypt and Rome. He met a lot of enlightened people, joined a lot of spiritual groups. In his spiritual searching he even came across Stalin. A lot of spiritual teachers of today are quoting Gurdjieff's teachings (e. g. Osho).


He founded his schools first in Russia, after revolution in Georgia, then he traveled in Europe, founded his schools in Berlin, France, England, then in USA. So, what were his teachings about? He said, that “Man lives his life in sleep, and in sleep he dies.” So, his teachings were to help people “wake up”. Wake up through Sufi dance, meditations and practices.


He hated laziness. By his opinion, that is the reason of most problems, because people are just too lazy to solve them. So, do not be lazy and search the way to solve your problems!

Who is Eckhart Tolle?

Who is Eckhart Tolle – truly enlightened spiritual teacher or just good writer and collector?. Even Oprah Winfrey is delighted about his books. She don’t just read his books, but also advertise them loudly. A man from Germany has become a spiritual teacher for thousands of people all around the world. But what has he done so special? His books “The Power of Now” and “A New Earth” are best sellers. But if his books are selling so well, does it mean that indeed they bring men towards the light?

We can ask a question – why do his books are so popular? In this time, when human race observe the weaknesses and worthlessness of so popular values – money and power, people are seeking for something else. Different men for ages have been searching the answers on spiritual questions. And actually Eckhart Tolle does not write something new. As he admits, he has combined the best from different teachings. He is quoting such great teachers as Jesus, Mohamed, Buda and many others. And books of their teachings unfortunately stand in lower shelf.


But he really has done very significant thing. He writes in language, which is clear for people and which is audible in the noise of our days. People have become too lazy, they do not have enough free time, or just they do not have enough knowledge to understand the words of prophets. And Eckhart Tolle is like translator, who is doing his job well. But it is for people to decide, what they should adore – The Eckhart Tolle or knowledge and information he gives.


I definitely suggest You to read his two books – “The Power of Now” and “A New Earth”, because they really putting together whole picture. But do not forget, that benefit comes from knowledge only then, when we use it in action. Knowledge without action is worthless. So, ACT!

Who is Osho?

An impossible question to answer, because what to say. How can it actually be said who Osho
is?

Can a flower be defined, can love be bottled and sold? Can truth be contained in words? Can truth like a butterfly be caught? Words can be an echo of something we vaguely know inside ourselves, they can ring bells in our hearts, calling us forth to take a jump to something which is a deep longing.

This longing will pull us to find ways to transform ourselves, dive deep into our own interiority, without blame, without judgement, without fear, without goal, just a fire to know the within, to discover who we are.....find out inside ourselves 'Who is Osho'.

Osho Risk is a 'Buddhafield', a place which vibrates, celebrates, dances, dives into this longing to know 'who we are', to find Osho within, the oceanic existence. Here is a short biography of Osho followed by a question somebody asked Osho.

J. R. R. Tolkien

You will ask – what kind of spiritual teacher is J. R. R. Tolkien and what does he teach us.


And I will answer – meaning of friendship, honor, courage, patience etc. He makes us to believe that little strokes fell great oaks.


And behind all elves, orks, hobbits and dark lords there is Divine Light, Divine Power, God. Even in that fantastic and miraculous world there is something above.


And that why we think that Hobbit and Lord Of The Rings teaches us a lot even when probably we do not realize it, but exactly in it is that miracle – spiritual development with fun and enthusiasm.


And few quotes from Lord Of The Rings
:

"Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends."


"He who breaks a thing to find out what it is, has left the path of wisdom."

Carlos Castaneda

Carlos Castaneda's (1925-1998) books have a great value in the way of understanding this world, even if we suppose that all his books are fiction (like a lot of critics declare) and not his life story. But don't listen critics until You read at least one his book.


He is the author of a series of books that describe his trainings and his spiritual growth with Yaqui shaman don Juan Matus during many years in Mesoamerican shamanism and in comprehension of entity.


The books of Carlos Castanedaare much more than valuable works of philosophy and descriptions of practices which enable an increased awareness and energy.


He brings us back to the nature and makes us to believe into divinity of nature and everything else around, except most of what is made by human.


Three first and best his books: The Teachings Of Don Juan, Journey to Ixtlan and Separate Relity.




Few quotes of Carlos Castaneda:

"Look at every path closely and deliberately, then ask ourselves this crucial question: Does this path have a heart? If it does, then the path is good. If it doesn't, it is of no use."

"Nothing in this world is a gift. Whatever must be learned must be learned the hard way."

"A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting."
