SELF OBSERVATION: THE AWAKENING OF CONSCIENCE.: An Owner's Manual
Prescott: Hohm Press, 2009. First edition. 149 pages. Item #13337
Paperback in new condition.
A startling new book that stresses the true importance of self observation and the awakening of conscience. Red Hawk, the author, utilizes Gurdjieff and Ouspensky's writings and draws on other current teachers and traditions, including some of his own poetry. All together he calls the Fourth Way as a perennial tradition, deeply related to other traditions. Ultimately self observation without judgment or inference by the mind becomes "meditation in action. "Thinking alone," he says is "always and only inside the box," while a direct comprehension of reality is actually outside the box!
Red Hawk's work expresses itself cogently when he notes that "when the mind is quiet and receptive, --[and it cannot be as long as it believes it knows and chatters all the time]--then the mode of apprehension of reality outside the box becomes direct experience; the mode of comprehension outside the box is intuition, and the mode of expression outside the box is inspiration. Thus a quiet mind and peaceful heart together receive wisdom.
