"I AM often asked questions in connection with various texts, parables, and so on, from the Gospels," said G., on one occasion. "In my opinion the time has not yet come for us to speak about the Gospels. This requires much more knowledge. But from time to time we will take certain Gospel texts as points of departure for our discussions. This will teach you to treat them in the right way, and, above all, to realize that in the texts known to us the most essential points are usually missing.
I think it is notable that Gurdjieff seems to not speak directly about the ego, which runs so prominent in most contemporary and Eastern spiritual traditions. However, I feel these comments on 'Kundalini' being a form of hypnosis is reflective of others' views on the ego. Otherwise, Gurdjieff focusses on the evils of egoic habits, traits, behaviors, rather than the ego, as a thing. Although, I feel that Kundabuffer can be seen as an analog for the ego, though differently from how most think about the ego.
