    Gurdjieff has said that man is a machine. In
    all his activities man is nothing but a
    passive participant. His actions are
    unconscious, unaware. They are really
    reactions. A man may love, hate and feel
    anger, but these are simply expressions of
    unconscious and mechanical forces at work
    within him. He is really only an agent
    through which nature works. He has no
    conscious vitality of his own. What we can
    call real life only begins when a man rises
    above this mechanical state of existence.

    A young man came to see me yesterday.
    He asked, “How shall I conduct my life so I
    will never have cause to repent anything in
    the future?”

    I replied, “There is only one answer to your
    question – discover real life. What you know
    as life is not life at all.” ....
