It is required (but not enough) to carry out a variety of practices and to struggle, in one\u2019s inner world, toward a realization of Conscience. Beyond this, Gurdjieff calls on us to consciously come to Objective Reason, and this requires us to contemplate and actively mentate as best we can on the laws which define the working of our inner and outer World. Only when we understand the laws can we hope to properly utilize the energies of Okidanokh, in the coating process of Kesdjan and Higher Being-body. This volume seeks to offer discoveries and further inquiry into this pivotal \u201cstriving,\u201d employing the most recent discoveries in modern physics, cosmology, biology and chemistry along with experiential data.<\/p>\n\n<p>See below the errata for the 2014 publication.
