“It must in fairness be remarked that now and again
certain beings also of the contemporary civilization have
suspected that something was concealed in the productions
which chanced to reach them in the original, specially
created then in Babylon by the members of the club of the
Adherents-of-Legominism, or in those copies which were
made during their transmission from generation to generation
by various conscientious professionals, that is by such
professionals to whom, as I have already said, it was still not
quite proper to plagiarize, and who therefore did not resort
to the detailed remaking of others’ productions in order to
give them out as their own, and thereafter while searching
very seriously for this something, certain of those inquiring
beings of that European civilization even found in them a
certain definite ‘something-or-other.’
“For instance, at the beginning of the contemporary
European civilization one of these beings, a certain monk
named Ignatius, who had formerly been an architect,
attained even to the possibility of deciphering the hidden
knowledge and useful information in the productions of
almost all the branches of what was already called ‘ancient’
art, which had reached him from the Babylonian epoch.
“But when this monk Ignatius was about to share what
is called this said ‘discovery’ of his with other beings there
like himself, namely, with two of his what are called
comrades, monks—together with whom he as a specialist
had been sent by his Abbot for the purpose of directing the
laying of what are called the ‘foundations’ of a temple,
which later became famous—then, for some trifling reason
ensuing from the consequences of one of the properties of
the organ Kundabuffer crystallized in them called ‘envy,’ he
was murdered while asleep and his planetary body was
thrown into the water-space surrounding that small island
on which it was proposed to erect the said temple.
“The said monk Ignatius arose and was formed for
the Being of a responsible being, on the continent Europe;
but when he reached the age of a responsible being, then
with the aim of enriching himself with information
concerning the profession which he had made the aim of
his existence, namely, the profession there called ‘architecture,’
he left for the continent of Africa. And just he it was
who entered as a monk into the ‘brotherhood’ which existed
on that continent Africa, under the name of the ‘Truth Seekers’;
and afterwards, when this brotherhood migrated to the
continent Europe and increased, and when its brethren
began to be called ‘Benedictines,’ he himself was already an
‘All-the-Rights-Possessing-Brother’ of this said brotherhood.
“The temple I referred to exists there even up till now
and is called, it seems, ‘Mont-Saint-Michel.’
Excerpt from Beelzebub’s Tales, Art

So let there be another 1000 years to celebrate..

The architectural reviews on the current Bienalle in Venice seem to reflect the burning issues of our times. They are all so overwhelming and interconnected, that a self-preserving drive makes one open ancient wisdom left to us for instance from Atlantis:

On Tuesdays, namely, on the ‘day-of-architecture,’ the
learned beings belonging to the second group brought
various models for such proposed buildings and constructions
as could endure a very long time.
“And in this case, they set up these buildings not
exactly in accordance with the stability ensuing from the
Law of Sevenfoldness, or as the beings there were mechanically
already accustomed to do, but otherwise.
“For instance, the cupola of a certain construction had,
according to all the data, to rest on four columns of a
certain thickness and definite strength.
“But they placed this said cupola on only three columns; and
the reciprocal thrust, or, as it is also expressed,
the ‘reciprocal resistance,’ ensuing from the Law of Sevenfoldness
for supporting the surplanetary weight, they
took not from the columns alone, but also from other unusual
combinations ensuing from the same Law of Sevenfoldness with
which the mass of the ordinary beings of
that time were also already acquainted; that is to say,
they took the required degree of resistance of the columns
chiefly from the force of the weight of the cupola itself.
“Or still another example; a certain stone, according
to all the data established there both mechanically from
long-centuries practice and also thanks to the fully conscious
calculations of certain beings with Reason there,
ought infallibly to have its definite strength corresponding
to a certain power of resistance; but they infallibly made
and placed this cornerstone so that it did not correspond at
all to the mentioned data; but the strength and power of
resistance for the support of the superimposed weight
required on the basis of the Law of Sevenfoldness they
took from the setting of the lower stones, which in their
turn they did not lay according to the established custom,
but again they based their calculations on the manner of
laying the still lower stones, and so on.
“And it was just in these unusual combinations of the
laying of stones, ensuing from the Law of Sevenfoldness,
that they indicated, also by means of a conventional
‘alphabet,’ the contents of some or other useful information.
“This group of learned members of the club of the
Adherents-of-Legominism further indicated what they
wished in their minia-images or models of proposed constructions,
by utilizing the law called ‘Daivibrizkar,’ that
is the law of the action of the vibrations arising in the
the atmosphere of enclosed spaces.
“This law, which has utterly failed to reach the contemporary
three-brained beings of that planet, was then
quite familiar to the beings there, that is to say, they were
already quite aware that the size and form of enclosed
spaces and also the volume of air enclosed in them influence beings in particular ways.
“Utilizing this law, they indicated their various ideas
in the following way:
“Let us suppose that according to the character and
purpose of some building or other it is required that from
the interiors of the given building, in accordance with
the Law of Sevenfoldness and with the mechanical practice
of centuries, definite sensations must be evoked in a
certain lawful sequence.
“Then utilizing the law of Daivibrizkar they combined
the interiors of this proposed building in such a way that
the required sensations were evoked in the beings who
entered them, not in the anticipated familiar lawful
sequence but in some other order.
“And it was just in these deviations from the lawful
sequence of sensations that they placed whatever they
wished in a certain way.
Excerpts from Beelzebub’s Tales, G.I.Gurdjieff, volume II.

Mr.G wrote his books esoterically. Like in the ancient scriptures, everything has several meanings for different levels of understanding of his readers, and each level must be correct, that is a law. Do I fully understand the most elemental meaning of the above section?
No, I do not. I would love to hear or read some lectures from the 4th Way student architects. Just a thought to switch attention from the external to the internal for a change.

“You exist in time, but you belong to eternity. You are a penetration of eternity into the world of time. You are deathless, living in a body of death. Your consciousness knows no death, no birth. It is only your body that is born and dies. But you are not aware of your consciousness; you are not conscious of your consciousness.

And that is the whole art of meditation: becoming conscious of consciousness itself.”

Inspiration for the new generation

http://www.castlewales.com/tintern.html?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

Each generation must revive the universal heritage from above in its own language, conditions, and further understanding so that humanity can progress up the ladder.
There is some catching up to do.
I heard that in the past, religions used to have psychological schools, where students would learn from the teachers the practical aspects of the highest science on Earth.
There would be sacred dances, sacred music, singing, arts&crafts martial arts, and studies of esoteric science…
Last century the “forest philosophers” brought this knowledge to the surface and it has been practiced in small circles since. Why not introduce it to humanity in a broader way? Why not revive that spirit, dreaming in each of us, waiting to be woken up?
When looking at these abandoned, yet beautiful architectural structures, I can easily imagine such schools being created within them. The ravages of time will otherwise disintegrate them the same way we can see already in our contemporary concrete architecture.
If the robots or the apes are to inherit the Earth it will be of no concern, but if humans somehow manage to survive, what dots will they be connecting?
