The Process of Speech

Gurdjieff's Enneagram

Describing speech, even when we leave out any opinion about what is said, reveals the mechanical nature of the human system. Understanding and reaching a conscious detachment from the act of speaking will allow the student to avoid objectification. It is excellent training to exist in a way which is quite separated from what one says. This consciousness of speech elevates the activity above “automatic speaking” and enables the student to self-remember during all discourse of any nature.
