Short epitaph written by G.I. Gurdjieff to be put on his father's gravestone

>All that you touch
>And all that you see
>Is all your life will ever be
Pink Floyd

Even when you look at pictures of Pepe the Frog, Gurdjieff himself would say use it to get into a higher state of consciousness, but of course overall, he would lambast the Internet as yet another tool to turn people into even more of automatons than they already are.
Direct non-duality. Pointing-out instruction. Right here. Beyond any religion. Pure Zen, without the Buddhist crap. What Gurdjieff calls "the way of the householder," using ordinary life as a monastery instead of going in privacy or on retreat to develop your spirit. Tantrically transmuting your ordinary pleasures and pains into the stuff of enlightenment. Also taught in Kashmir Shaivism, and by Indian cigarette-smoking sage and shopkeeper Nisargadatta Maharaj in his book "I Am That." Doesn't matter if you're a nigger, kike, a chink, a spic, a janny, a NEET, or even a dirty femoid. All is love. I'm not even on drugs, but maybe I am a little manic. On 4channel. You heard it here first, faggot.
