The Big Questions, Consciousness, and Gurdjieff - A Talk with Alan Francis

What is the purpose of esotericism? How might we view humanity’s trajectory in light of the many seemingly negative developments we see on a more or less daily basis?  What are the personal challenges in raising consciousness and awareness in oneself - and how may those be seen against the backdrop of a world gone backwards? And what does it even mean to be living in these times in the larger and even cosmic sense?This week as we are once again joined by Gurdjiffian student and teacher Alan Francis (International School of the Fourth Way) who discusses these themes in both broad and personal terms, bringing his astute observations to the fore to answer the questions many of us have right now about where we may be, collectively and individually.
