Comments on: Balancing the centers of your body, part 1 http://www.loving-awareness.org/2008/04/27/balancing-the-centers-of-your-body-part-1/ A Journey to Wholeness This feed is channeling based. It relates to metaphysical subjects about the nature of Love and living your life from a place of joy. It encompasses personal growth and self-help, but tries to be universal as well, encompassing non-dogmatic spirituality, community, and even some emphasis on putting positive change to the world.

I have been in a Gurdjieff group for years, and unfortunately there is often a subtle (and sometimes not subtle) harshness involved. There’s great things there, but it’s not complete, and much of the teachings turned stale where I was.

When I write, I write from my own perceptions, channeling, and experience. Yes, this does make me ‘qualified’. It doesn’t put me on a pedestal above others, but I don’t want to be there.

This article is really disgusting.
 
If your work on yourself has not brought you to the point where you just refrain from this kind of thing,then it has done nothing for you.
 
Do you not know how many are much more qualified to write about it, people who are real teachers in a direct line from Gurdjieff himself, but who do not, and certainly not like this on a putrid ‘love’ internet site.
