What If You've Been Asleep Your Entire Life?
Most of us assume we're awake simply because our eyes are open. We go about our days making decisions, forming opinions, believing we're in control of our lives. But what if this sense of control is an elaborate illusion? What if we're actually sleepwalking through existence, reacting mechanically to everything that happens to us? This unsettling question lies at the heart of Georges Ivanovitch Gurdjieff's radical system of self-transformation, known simply as "the Work." Born in 1872 on the Russia-Turkey border, Gurdjieff spent two decades traveling through Asia and the Middle East, developing a method that doesn't require monastery walls or mountain retreats. Instead, it transforms ordinary life itself into a laboratory for awakening. His teachings have attracted everyone from philosophers to musicians like Keith Jarrett, even celebrities like Madonna and Sting. What makes this system endure isn't its promise of quick enlightenment but its unflinching diagnosis of the human condition: we are machines who believe ourselves conscious, fragmented personalities who imagine ourselves whole, prisoners who don't recognize our chains.
