Being effort is the only method of developing. You are aware when you have made an effort - when you have done something that you are aware required effort. Every successful effort adds – every failure subtracts. An effort that involves ample reward is no good. It must be gratuitous. St. Paul said always to be running in the great race. Gurdjieff says always in a huff. Every effort creates energy and at the same time intrinsic strength... Everything develops by exercise. Pondering exercises the whole mind... You work physically until you drop - then beyond this you are using being effort. Everyone lives on his first wind - create or find the conditions where you voluntarily proceed to your second wind... Try to discover when you have reached the second wind, then within the realms of common sense repeat this. ~ AR Orage Orage Gurdjieff Meeting Notes
