  • THE REFLECTED GLORY of OBJECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS Taught Me an Exercise, One Used by Gurdjie! , Having to Do with Sensing the & Ow of Energies Through the Body
    This is copyrighted material CHAPTER S IX The Refl ected Glory of Objective Consciousness he woman who was standing before me in the living room of the condo in Crans Montana, Switzerland, was slight of build, of aver- Tage height, gray-haired, spry, and ninety years old. Her name was Jeanne de Salzmann, and you might have been forgiven for having trouble believing that her smallish, unassuming person embodied the whole tumultuous history of the Gurdjie! movement. Madame de Salzmann, as she was called, met Gurdjie! for the " rst time in Tbilisi, Georgia (then part of Russia) in 1919, when he had come storm- ing out of the Caucasus with his band of students and she was a performer and teacher of eurhythmics, the art of interpreting musical composition by a rhythmical, free-style movement of the body. Jeanne de Salzmann’s husband, Alexander, was one of the great stage designers of his day, a visionary who rubbed shoulders with the likes of poet Rainer Maria Rilke and painter Wassily Kandinsky. It was through the de Salzmanns that the " rst public performance ever of Gurdjie! ’s Sacred Movements was staged, at the Tbilisi Opera House, in June of that year. Jeanne and Alexander soon became Gurdjie! ’s students, departing with him and his other students for Constantinople in May 1920. # eir travels took them on to Berlin and then to France, where in 1922 Gurdjie! set up the Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man at the Prieuré des Basses Loges near Fontainebleu. 91 This is copyrighted material This is copyrighted material CHAPTER SIX (# e institute had been given its name in Tbilisi.) Madame de Salzmann studied with Gurdjie! for thirty years and at his death in 1949 assumed primary responsibility for the Work, starting the Gurdjie! Institute in Paris.

  • Consciousness and Spirituality
    CONSCIOUSNESS AND SPIRITUALITY ‘The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of the people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that this center is really everywhere. It is within each of us.’ Black Elk The Mystical Experience Throughout the ages, mystics have experienced a direct perception of the primal, underlying reality of pure, undifferentiated Consciousness that gives birth to the vast phenomenal world and the myriad expressions of existence. By transcending the duality of the subject-object perception experienced by most people, mystics realize the fundamental unity of all that exists as timeless, universal consciousness. “The consciousness of the subject in a subject-object experience is the same consciousness that is the ground of all being.” This is expressed in the Hindu Upanishads as “Thou are That.” Why in our ordinary experience do we feel separate? This separateness, insists the mystic, is an illusion. If we meditate on the true nature of our self, we shall find, as mystics from many ages and times have found, that there is only one consciousness behind all the diversity. This one consciousness or Self goes by many names. Hindus refer to it as the atman, Christians call it the Holy Spirit, or in Quaker Christianity, the inner light. By whatever name it is called, all agree that the experience of this one consciousness is of inestimable value . Mystics, then, are those people who offer testimony to this fundamental reality of unity in diversity.
