The Organic Sense of Being

Questioner:
Even work is distasteful to me.

Mme de Sazlmann:

Because you do not work. There is never any work with you, nothing ever between us when we are together—it is empty... Nobody is there— nobody makes the effort.

Gurdjieff:

...one must change the way of working... one must try to keep constantly the organic sensation of the body.

... Our aim is to have constantly a sensation of oneself, of one's individuality. This sensation cannot be expressed intellectually, because it is organic. It is something which makes you independent, when you are with other people.

 Gurdjieff's Wartime Transcripts, p.5-6
