@fakable Reading them and soaking it all up, soaking it all up, means also learning from videos on this subject, and investing most of the waking moments with this material, so that perhaps over time it'll all sink in, also of benefit is a similar occultist thinker Rudolf Steiner, most of his stuff can be found audibly on YouTube and i follow along at 2x speed, he made some excellent points i need to go back and highlight. The esoteric and occult in his hands and Gurdjieff you get the idea that it's misunderstood by the masses, and it's really quite a wonderful way of thinking, of self improvement techniques and so on.
i'm asking how did you use the information your brain had already processed from these sources?

@fakable I'm only beginning, basically if it's applicable, like what can i do, ways of looking at things differently ie: better, is useful for me to have in the noggin, so that i can in general be thinking of things in a new way, the Work that must be done is a lifelong thing, and even if i end up seeing it all as bunk, i will have still valued the applicable parts.
