Absolutely beautiful.

Gurdjieff / de Hartmann played by Rosemary Nott | “Prayer,” from the album Music of the Prieuré, Dolmen Meadow Editions, released 2012.

“The true purpose of this music was to be another vehicle of his teaching, [Gurdjieff] to instruct, to illuminate, and finally to have an action on the being of the listener.” 

—Laurence Rosenthal, An Inner Dimension, PARABOLA, Winter 2012. Dolmen Meadow Editions introduces a new CD of The Gurdjieff and Thomas de Hartmann music as played by Rosemary Nott. A rare and wonderful gift of music.

What is it to suffer? Is it to allow myself to be as I am, to stay with myself as I am? To suffer my neighbor to be as he or she is—to stay with them closely, not expecting them to be other than how they are? First I need to find the possibility of allowing, of accepting however I find myself to be, before I can extend that sympathy to another being.
Rosemary Nott, from “Perceptions on Suffering” in PARABOLA: Spring 2011. (via parabola-magazine)
