KEY QUOTE

“I speak of ancient prayers; many of them are much older than Christianity. These prayers are, so to speak, recapitulations; by repeating them aloud or to himself a man endeavours to experience what is in them, their whole content, with his mind and his feeling.” (from talk by G.I. Gurdjieff in 1916, as reported in Ouspensky, P.D. In Search of the Miraculous)
