a 'work' site; infection with _the_ teaching urge; could be, by graceful texts of P.D. Ouspensky; it happens when people _are_ but also when they are _not_ e.g. bloggers, writers, teachers etc., i.e. & so on down the scale. Symptoms stronger if such had the privilege of enjoying erudition of Gurdjieff, or had their understanding nourished by Nicoll's Commentaries' unmistakable feel. Maybe during childhood. Maybe some are to experience the symptom, _yet_... time is relative.

Try to observe one form of distaste of life in yourself. The cause is undirected imagination, where we lie passive to our imagination and bathe ourselves in it. Find one example of being unable to appreciate what you have. The cause is being something being laid down (probably early in life) in rolls by imagination that causes you to expect in a way that does not correspond with what you get. Cure is Work-thought that one's Being attracts one's life and that therefore it's no good blaming life.

A quote from Nicoll. Not much commentary - ha, commentary on commentary (on another commentary of commentary perhaps?) - needed, just some rereading over some months.
