Are you a cause, an effect, or an affect?

You cannot come to consciousness unconsciously. Directed attention supposes someone there to direct it--not just chariot without driver. All work begins with the control of attention. Madame Ouspensky

A man is unable to explain what he himself really is. The only thing you have to sacrifice is your suffering. No work can be done in sleep. You can't see above your own level of being. Gurdjieff

Gurdjieff said to Ouspensky: "You always think - I only now and then".

Neither. No such dichotomy applies to what you really are. You. Are not, a machine.
