QUESTION: Do you know the GUIDE deep within you?
STORY: When I was 22, I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and left Wisconsin. I returned to San Francisco searching for a Gurdjieff Teacher. I met Thane Walker, founder of The Prosperos School of Ontology. Ontology is the science of BEING. Our Beingness is our Essential, True Self. Thane’s classes guided me and many other students to work with the problems of our binary, separate ego-self and to awaken to our True Self as Consciousness. Our True Self is always within us - and it takes WORK to let go of ego and connect with your True Self. Now, I am 77 and I continue to do this WORK - which is the practice of Self Observing and Self Remembering. I am grateful. This WORK connects me with my Inner Guide, my True Self. Today I continue to teach Prosperos classes (Translation® & Releasing the Hidden Splendour™) and I lead a weekly Ontology Work Chamber online. We help each other to connect with our True Self. Check out my Ontology Work Chamber to learn more.
