Title
Nathan Bernier - Enneagram: the Fourth Way Revisited
Description
A Mystery in the Form of a Master
During the entire Nazi occupation in Paris, a minuscule flat two blocks away from the orthodox Russian cathedral of rue Daru was boiling with emotion and perplexity. Not attracting attention, the windows were permanently covered with rugs, adhering to the obligatory blackout and inside it one would lose the notion of time.
There was a Master. Little or nothing was known about him, but whomever he looked at or whomever he spoke to, even if only once in a lifetime, was touched forever. It was impossible to have seen him and then forget him. As well as it was impossible to see him and to not see oneself, touched by a magic rod - which he called "consciousness."
To meet him was to meet oneself, even though for a brief moment. Perhaps this was why he was so loved and so feared at the same time. To see ourselves is his legacy to us - a difficult and frightening legacy, which however, opens the way that leads to true freedom.
Additional Information
Nathan Bernier writes about self-development, esoterism and sacred geometry, using the Enneagram according to the Fourth Way and the teachings of Gurdjieff.
"The Enneagram - Symbol of All and Everything" connects, organizes and interprets information from three sources. The first is Gurdjieff's writings themselves: his words, the underlying structure, and mainly the implied sense and allusions that appear to be innocuous. The second consists of significant fragments transmit-ted by his followers, and also the vast inheritance of old symbology remaining from several esoteric systems, not only written but also built-in in works of art, stories and traditions. The third and last source, which worked as amalgam in the synthesis and understand-ing of the first two, were many years of Work, observation of outer and inner phenomena and processes, meditation, and revelation.
