Default Re: Guess this will be rubbish

Gurdjieff talked about the minimum level of consciousness and ability that it takes to begin the Great Work. He referred to that minimum as the "householder"; one who is competent, responsible, and intelligent enough to keep a home and family. Depending on the society, that may or may not entail money. In all societies, that householder would need to obtain and maintain a home, and provide food, clothing, and protection for themself and anyone else in the household.

Every single one of the whiners I've read here who think everything having to do with higher consciousness needs to be free flunks at least the intelligence minimum above.
