You must remember he spoke in the language of the day. He said our sun neither heats or freezes..nothing that was known..but true. He was privy to teachings thatwe still don't understand and he certainly understood about aliens although to my knowledge he never spoke of them. All his students were told to study maharbarrata books. Carlos casteneda .the illiad..his father was a bard and could recite the epic of Gilgamesh and it was absolutely true to what was found .

He had amazing knowledge.....he said this world is a reciprocal world.we all eat the ones below us and yes our energy whether positive or negative is eaten by those above us. Here knew our purpose in being here but wrapped everything up so he was hard to decipher...he didn't give knowledge away you had to work mentally for it. Everyone was in awe of what he as a man could do..not speak..do.

He students wrote books..if you read what Gurdjieff wrote you wouldn't understand it unless you were at a certain level of being. I am only understanding bits now . So you might understand something on an intellectual level but your being can be still that of a small child...the Mad professor? Tesla spoke of these sort of people...knowledge and being must grow at the same pace
