Haiku is about discipline -- just like good DNA. If you think civilization is crap, an opinion I share, then the only thing we have to counteract its effects is a discipline of our own. Free energy is rampant in a bottle of chlorinated water, in a violent movie, in malathion, in Round-up, in VLF electromagnetic pollution... civilization dumps random disorganized energy at you with every breath it offers. It's disciplined energy that's hard to get to. The kind that is found in, e.g., water that is water and that's all it is, no more, no less, not free-style water with whatever random pollutants by the thousand.

Haiku, or anything else that is not 'anything goes,' the habit itself of declining the 'anything goes' offerings ("no thanks, dear doctor, teacher, preacher, general, politician, corporation, institution, I'll keep YOUR substance outta MY form, thank you"), is the only thing we have to fall back on. I love Homer Simpson and his free-energy ways, but when his head was examined in order to find out what he's thinking about, a cow playing a ukulele was revealed. Not that you remind me of him or anything... dry.gif

Go for it. Look there's two choices:

1) civilization

2) Gurdjieff.

I'm not saying that Beezlebub's Tale wasn't written after Gurdjieff had a near-mortal car accident and his manuscript was watered down and destroyed by idiotic Civilized dip-shits.

On the other hand what else is there to do? Gurdjieff was the real thing -- it's not his fault his publisher and editor (Orage), etc., didn't "understand" him and therefore tried to change the MEANING of his writing!!

So Bennett pointing out that Gurdjieff's earlier unpublished manuscript contained Gurdjieff's concept of the

FEMALE FORMLESS AWARENESS

is most important.

But then I already know that so I can go into Beezelbub's as a nice alternative to that which is otherwise most dreadful:

CIVILIZATION.
