Meetings with Remarkable Men

Фильм және анимация

Meetings with Remarkable Men (book) is the second volume of the All and Everything trilogy written by the Greek-Armenian mystic G. I. Gurdjieff. A book of autobiography, it was originally published in 1963 and tells the tale of the young Gurdjieff growing up in a world torn between his unexplainable experiences and the developing modern sciences.
The book takes the form of Gurdjieff's reminiscences about various "remarkable men" that he has met, beginning with his father. They include the Armenian priest Pogossian; his friend Soloviev, Prince Lubovedsky, a Russian prince with metaphysical interests, and a couple of others.
In the course of describing these characters, Gurdjieff weaves their stories into the story of his own travels, and also into an overarching narrative which has them cooperate in locating spiritual texts and/or masters in various lands (mostly Central Asia). Gurdjieff calls this group the "Seekers of Truth".
Most of them do in fact find "truth" in the form of some suitable spiritual destiny. The underlying philosophy, especially as articulated in an appendix, amounts to the assertion that people generally live their lives asleep, are unconscious of themselves, and accordingly behave like machines, subject to outside causes and pressures. Also, one of the chief assessments of the novel is that the people of the past epochs lived in more suitable outer conditions and at higher inner levels than the people today. Many additional hidden harmonies are noted or alluded to.
Meetings with Remarkable Men (movie) is a 1979 British film directed by Peter Brook and based on the book of the same name. Shot on location in Afghanistan (except for dance sequences, which were filmed in England), it starred Terence Stamp, and Dragan Maksimovic as the adult G. I. Gurdjieff. The film was entered into the 29th Berlin International Film Festival.

    In so far as it is possible to do so, look at the world around you, do you see a world full of beings or of whom are: "looking for trueness and the real meaning of life"? If I were you I would avoid universals, because they can only possibly be imaginary. *Is*there a "*we*"? Is possible to describe and sometimes is said that the work or ideas of Mr Gurdjieff is the way of questioning. How to remain silent attentive in front of a living question? Is*that*your question? Remember me do not try to kill questions with answers back to remain silent and attentive in front of them How to*Remain*? "Aeneas was praying and holding on the altar when the prophetess started to speak: “Blood relations of Gods,noble Trojan, son of Anchis, the way down to Avernus is easy. Day and night black Pluto’s door stands open. But to retrace your steps and get back to upper air, this is the real task (the work) and the real undertaking.”

Where are the thousands of laborers that would make any of this possible? I guess it’s all about and for a privileged class that is out of touch with reality.

I can understand why they would be drawn to a part in this film.East End of London was a treasure trove off talent.The land itself is a story. Fighting duels is such a ridiculous pastime. Vibration and notes go through your body , a good one is exquisite and a bad one is agony. To do that to a bird is barbaric 🕊️. I love Kangal dogs,real ones. They are unique. A room with people moving in synchronicity builds huge energy. Fascinating film.

    I remember the disappointment I felt in 1979 when the lights came up in the theater after witnessing this tepidly made film. ( I knew Gurdjieff's writings quite well by that point and as such, had been looking forward to an interesting, above-the-par film) The late Peter Brook's recent re-edit of this, his film, only made matters much worse. Other than the opening musical competition and the closing Movements sequence, I found this film to be a resolute misfire and an unfortunate missed chance. It often feels like the film plays a game of peekabo with its audience, never truly sure it wishes to be seen And then it dangerously veers towards preciousness a serious copping-out motive which signals a lack of thoroughness on the part of the makers of any esoterically oriented film. Esoterically preoccupied films may indeed be the specific genre which is the most difficult to pull off with complete sincerity. However, that reflects its exceptionally demanded rigors and does not allow for any form of slackness as an excuse. Even with having re-watched it over the years and seeing other nuances emerge, as well as questionable deliberate distortions, REMARKABLE remains essentially an extended magazine advertisement lacking gravity and at times falling flat on its own face. Gurdjieff's extremely subtle text deserved and deserves better, and perhaps that will one day be remedied. And I believe that attempt should be made and what a powerful film that COULD indeed be. It seems a strange conundrum that the most successful of spiritually-oriented films seem to be made by filmmakers of next-to-no spiritual interest and/or overarching adherence to a Belief: think Piero Pasolini's THE GOSPEL of ST. MATTHEW, Roberto Rossellini's IL MESSIA and ACTS OF THE APOSTLES and the original cuts of Liliana Cavani's FRANCESCO and MILAREPA. Perhaps, such creators have less conditioning and therefore more objectivity in presenting a particular psychology's Facts. MILAREPA, in particular, should stand as a guide to any further adapters of REMARKABLE to keep things simple and reveal only what has thoroughly digested and integrated through the filmmaker's actual Understanding: in other words, only that which has been comprehensively earned. It appears Cavani wisely adheres only to what she has understood and (most importantly) in the way that she particularly understands while leaving other portions of the story out. She does the same with her presentation of Francis of Assisi. It is an honest view. Too much of REMARKABLE feels "fudged" and then fatuously glazed with a near Hollywood-style mystique. (At least, THE RAZOR'S EDGE (1946) humbly stayed within its own scale and is all the stronger and affecting for it) And perhaps too, the adapters should not be part of the movement carrying the founder's name so they can respond directly without institutional agendas and step back from interpreting the book's message and the filmed adaptation's provisional way. No response or interpretation can be ultimate but, it should be handled more responsibly than this. However, thank you for posting the entire unedited original. It is certainly better than the befuddled, recent Director's Cut.

    Ken Able I would recommend Ouspensky’s the psychology of man’s possible evolution which will give you an intellectual overview and basics of the psychological aspect of the work after that In search of the miraculous covers a lot of Gurdjieff work giving you some exercises and how to practically work on yourself. The book covers psychology, cosmology and the laws that governs man and how if someone is intelligent he would try to escape from some of these laws and how to use some of these laws to your advantage, mainly the law of three and the law of seven. Ouspensky teaching is intellectual and he speaks mainly to your intellectual center. The meat of this teaching as I have been told is in Gurdjieff writing, his trilogy All and everything must be read in order since it’s suppose to be the law of three, the first series is destructive, the second is constructive and the third is reconciling. It’s constructed in a way that if you read it in order and with all your being, it can show you what your current situation and what is possible for you. FIRST SERIES To destroy, mercilessly and without any compromise whatever, in the mentation and feelings of the reader, the beliefs and views, by centuries rooted in him, about everything existing in the world. SECOND SERIES To acquaint the reader with the material required for a new creation and to prove the soundness and good quality of it. THIRD SERIES To assist the arising, in the mentation and in the feelings of the reader, of a veritable, nonfantastic representation not of that illusory world which he now perceives, but of the world existing in reality. About what Sylvius, he’s right books will not get you far. However, before getting a school I would recommend that you understand very will that you need it and that you understand your situation and that your will is too weak to bring any real change also the organism is so complex and for that you will need a teacher. Good luck

    @Ken Able Hi Ken! Dr Nicolls books on the Fourth way teaching are excellent. And also Ouspenskys profound work! I have found great inspiration in Pythagoras teaching, hylozoics. Henry T Laurency was an profound esoteric author who wrote many excellent books about Pythagoras teaching called hylozoics. Free books for download are available at www.laurency.com. Feel free to visit the website www.hylozoik.se and go the the english section. There you can find many interesting articles and texts about esoteric life- and worldview based on Pythagorean hylozoics and fourth way. Together with the work of Gurdjieff, Ouspensky and Dr Nicoll; Henry T Laurency and Lars Adelskogh will provide you with the best available explanations and texts for esoteric study. Very pedagogic. Much of it is very practical. The knowledge must be used in action in everyday life. Not just in theory. That would be useless. Best regards! JH from Sweden.

Dubious-in the extreme of " we", but 'we' are all mirrors for oneanother; hand wash hand, and occasionally real feeling is called out of its stable where it lives in shit and is fed on straw. As Mme de Saltzmann kept saying( not to this mouse, (I kept*well* out of her way) of course): "When two or three are gather together, then, like a shepherd or calling his sheep, something can appear." Any dreamer can be the slave of the functions, but for *Feeling* to appear(and somehow jump thousands of miles), maybe I need a friend. Is Giorgivanitch dead? Sometimes maybe not; certainly not for this mouse. I had a sister (now, sadly also free from this planet) and being both slapped at more or less the same time made us brother and sister. . Hand wash hand. Peter is a sloppy sentimental -verbose little mouse, but sometimes he is almost weepingly grateful for these Ideas. The higher responds, the lower reacts. Peter would dissolve every response in sentimentality - must be the wine. It is mutual bother.
