Beelzebubs-Tales-to-His-Grandson-by-G-I-Gurdjieff

"The 'omnipresent active element' Okidanokh enters the presenceof beings through the three kinds of 'being-food.'"And it does so because, as I have already told you, Okidanokhnecessarily participates in the formation of all the products that serveas being-food, and is therefore always present in them."Well, my boy, the essential peculiarity of the OmnipresentOkidanokh is that, in this case, it undergoes the process of 'djartklom'in the presence of beings independently of any contact with theemanations of a large cosmic concentration;and the factors for this process are either the results of'partkdolgduty' consciously actualized by the beings themselves—which I will later explain to you in detail—or that process of GreatNature existing in the Universe under the name of 'kerkoolnooarnianactualization,' which consists in 'obtaining the required totality ofvibrations by adaptation.' This latter process takes place in beingswithout any participation whatever of their consciousness."In both cases when Okidanokh enters the presence of a being andundergoes the process of 'djartklom,' each of its fundamental partsblends with those perceptions present in the being at the momentwhich correspond to it according to what are called 'kindredvibrations,' and it is then concentrated upon the correspondinglocalization, that is, upon the corresponding brain. These blendingsare called 'being-impulsakri.'"Note well, my boy, that these localizations, or brains, not onlyserve as apparatuses for the transformation of corresponding cosmicsubstances for the purposes of the most great common-cosmicTrogoautoegocratic but are also the means whereby the consciousself-perfecting of beings is possible."This latter aim depends upon the quality of the 'being-impulsakri'concentrated or, as is otherwise said, deposited onto the being-brains.
