“We are on a cosmic timetable and at present, we are behind schedule.” – Georgi Ivonovitch Gurdjieff

The following is a selection from a recent email from Randall Carlson to a supporter of our efforts at Sacred Geometry International. The accompanying video features Randall describing in greater detail the nature of the alchemical Great work.

Hello Dave

Thanks for your kind words. It is gratifying to know that you value the information I am attempting to bring to a wider audience. It is absolutely true as you said that one must be proactive in one’s education. Learning should be a lifelong endeavor. The story of human life on planet Earth is a genuine Mystery. There are too many formulaic answers to many of the imperative questions of our time. We are surrounded on all sides by new data and information demanding that we question and reconsider habitual assumptions about our past and our potential future. However when old paradigms fall hierarchies of power are upset, entrenched belief systems are challenged, and resistance to new knowledge is all too typical. I think that the essence of my message is that we have a finite amount of time to accomplish certain things if we are to endure as a society. One of the teachers I looked into early on in my ‘quest for knowledge’ was Georgi Ivanovitch Gurdjieff, an Armenian mystic and all-round scoundrel who, nonetheless, was a conduit for the delivery of some critically important information to 20th century western civilization. A fundamental tenet of his teaching was that, as he put it “We are on a cosmic timetable and at present, we are behind schedule.”

When I first encountered this idea some 4 decades ago I was perplexed as to what he meant. Now, after years of study into Earth history I interpret that statement in a very literal sense. The record of Earth change, encoded into the rocks, the landscapes about us and in the epic and universal mythology of our species conveys the same message, that inherent in the system is a reset button. The evidence now in hand confirms that this reboot command has been activated numerous times in the course of Earth history prior to any human intervention. The preeminent task of our time is, I believe, learning how to overwrite this command before the next system failure, and towards that end, we have a rich legacy of ancient knowledge and traditions that can facilitate our efforts, especially if deciphered in the light of the extraordinary discoveries of modern science. Ancient and modern systems of knowledge are perfect complements of one another.
