"In order to awaken, first of all one must realize that one is in a state of sleep. And in order to realize that one is indeed in a state of sleep, one must recognize and fully understand the nature of the forces which operate to keep one in the state of sleep, or hypnosis. It is absurd to think that this can be done by seeking information from the very source which induces the hypnosis."
This amazing surrealist film by Alejandro Jodorowsky is said to have been based on a couple of books by one of Gurdjieff's students. I bought a copy of it a couple of weeks ago because it's one of my favourite movies and somewhat hard to find. Haven't cracked it open yet, though. I'll need a couple of hours of free time and some wide open headspace to get the full benefits of another viewing. Soundtrack by the Don Cherry, by the way. The gifted collaborator of Ornette Coleman, not the loudmouthed hockey idiot.
