I enjoyed this article, especially because I’m currently reading Jeanne De Salzmann’s “The Reality of Being - The Fourth Way of Gurdjieff.” I’ve never read anything quite like it as it is like a journal on becoming the absolute Self. She touches on aspects I’ve peeled back so I feel a kindred spirit, and it resonates with my experience. I’ve made the connections to Gurdjieff’s Fourth Way and the Ancient Egyptian path to gnosis. Taoism too. The breath is not essentially the true breath, it’s the underlying current that animates the breath. Just like the true self animates our form. Really cool to see you making these connections too. De Salzman lived to 101 years old by the way. The Women of Wisdom looks amazing.

The Fourth Way itself is one of my favorite books so will have to check this out : ) Oh and thank you!!!! Magical Egypt was always accused of being to male dominant so I made this to balance the scales : )

So, you consider the S.h.u as part of the Ax?

I notice that in the graphic.

I used to work with the H.u and S.art qualities as exalting the Ax. It prepared awareness and use of the S.h.u; while the Shuwt and Khaibt are not as hinderances.

I would more likely find the S.xm as part of the Ax.
