Love of consciousness evokes the same in response
Love of feeling evokes the opposite
Love of body depends only on type and polarity.

G. I. Gurdjieff

The power of changing oneself lies not in the mind, but in the body and the feelings. Unfortunately, however, our body and our feelings are so constituted that they don't care a jot about anything so long as they are happy. They live for the moment and their memory is short. The mind alone lives for tomorrow. Each has its own merits. The merit of the mind is that it looks ahead. But it is only the other two that can "do."

G. I. Gurdjieff

Faith of consciousness is freedom
Faith of feeling is weakness
Faith of body is stupidity.

G. I. Gurdjieff

Hope of consciousness is strength
Hope of feelings is slavery
Hope of body is disease.
