The Art Of The Cure
Journal Of An Ayurvedic Sojourn
Francois Fleury
Urban Art Project No: 6
From the organizer:
“To be with oneself, each morning at the breaking of dawn, to reconnect with a space of silence and beauty inside oneself, a space that opens to an act of creation, composed of words, signs and images. A true feeling of being alive.
This exhibit is an entrance into the intimacy of a personal journal. As a therapist myself, I wanted to share what became in effect “the Art of the Cure”, that is, an interface with what developed within the sensory experience of a sequence of several days as a patient in an Ayurvedic treatment center in the south of India.”

Click title for flyerA Practicum on the Five Obligolnian Strivings
A Gathering ~
June 22 through the 28th, Seattle, Washington USA
concerning what we are obliged to do in this life, in order to live humanely and develop conscience.
In
G.I. Gurdjieff’s system of self-knowledge, transmitted in his seminal
text, Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson, the Obligolnian Strivings are
presented as a set of practices by the prophet Ashiata Shiemash for
acquiring genuine conscience.
The Five Strivings are as follows:
The Five Strivings are as follows:
✴ The first striving: to have in their ordinary being-existence everything satisfying and really necessary for their planetary body.
✴The second striving: to have a constant and unflagging instinctive need for self-perfection in the sense of being.
✴ The third: the conscious striving to know ever more and more concerning the laws of World-creation and World- maintenance.
✴The fourth: the striving from the beginning of their existence to pay for their arising and their individuality as quickly as possibly, in order afterward to be free to lighten as much as possibly, the Sorrow of our Common Father.
✴The fourth: the striving from the beginning of their existence to pay for their arising and their individuality as quickly as possibly, in order afterward to be free to lighten as much as possibly, the Sorrow of our Common Father.
✴ The fifth: the striving always to assist the most rapid perfecting
of other beings, both those similar to oneself and those of other
forms, up to the degree of the sacred ‘Martfotai’ that is, up to the
degree of self-individuality.
It
is time, given the world circumstances and challenges, to take these
strivings to heart. We intend to explore the practical application of
this path to conscience in the context of our daily lives. Everyone is
invited to share their experience and insight. The forth striving
emphasizes the further obligatory task awaiting us
beyond the quest for our own transformation.

*** Announcement***
We have
decided to cancel the Bennett Pilgrimage tours for 2014.
We did not receive the required minimum number of
travelers for our tours. With each tour we need to reach a certain number of
travelers so we can meet the tour price. The bus seats a maximum of 27 people,
but we like to keep the maximum seating around 22, this leaves space for those
who would like to rest in the back, and because of limited space for luggage in
the hold. We also like to keep the minimum number of people on the tour so we
have a manageable working group. This year we indicated minimums of between 17
and 15 people, any lower minimum number of people would not be feasible due to
petrol costs, and expenses.
The tours will be rescheduled for next year, 2015.
The details
will be uploaded to the website and here within the next month.
We will follow the same itinerary for Eastern
Turkey and Armenia, as is posted for 2014 on the website. The dates will change
slightly, but we are aiming for late May through June for the tours. The price
may change depending on increases or decreases in the cost of services.
It is our wish that you can join us next year for
one of our tours, both of the tours are so rich in experiences culturally and
spiritually. We respect whatever spiritual tradition you belong to; respecting
your beliefs and background. It is our wish to make the experience accessible
to all who wish to participate.
T.S. Eliot in the Four Quartets (1943) put it this
way:
"We shall not cease from explorationAnd the end of all our exploringWill be to arrive where we startedAnd know the place for the first time."
