Talks and Writings of G. I. Gurdjieff
THE EVOLUTION OF MAN CAN BE TAKEN
AS THE DEVELOPMENT IN HIM of those powers and possibilities which never
develop by themselves, that is, mechanically. Only this kind of development,
only this kind of growth, marks the real evolution of man. There is, and there
can be, no other kind of evolution whatever.…
In speaking of evolution it is necessary to understand from the outset that no mechanical evolution is possible. The evolution of man is the evolution of his consciousness. And ‘consciousness’ cannot evolve unconsciously. The evolution of man is the evolution of his will, and ‘will’ cannot evolve involuntarily. The evolution of man is the evolution of his power of doing, and ‘doing’ cannot be the result of things which ‘happen.’
IN SEARCH OF THE MIRACULOUS, pp. 56, 58

At the entrance, my bare feet on the dirt floor,
Here, gusts of heat; at my back, white clouds. I stare and stare. It seems I
was called for this: To glorify things just because they are.
Czeslaw Milosz
The
Temple of the Sacred Family, one of the major symbols of the Roma district,
started being built in 1910 by the architect Manuel Gorozpe and the engineer
Miguel Rebolledo, and was sponsored by the Jesuit congregation. After a period
of inactivity, the Parrish was inaugurated on November 19 1925, date in which
its tower and clock were given their blessing.
This
temple reflects several styles fashionable in the early 20th Century,
among which we can find elements of the neo-Romanesque, neo-Gothic and eclectic
styles that manage to come together harmoniously in this place.
One
of the most outstanding aspects of this temple are its beautiful stained glass
windows, which were made by the Italian company Talleri, and in which we can
observe representations of different Bible passages and the mysteries of the
Christian faith. [mexicocity-guide.com]

A Town Within a City
 |

Tlalpan is
one of the sixteen administrative boroughs of the Federal
District of Mexico City. It is the largest borough, with over eighty
percent under conservation as forest and other ecologically sensitive area. The
rest, almost all of it on the northern edge, has been urban since the mid 20th
century. When it was created in 1928, it was named after the most important
settlement of the area, Tlalpan, which is referred to as “Tlalpan center” to
distinguish it from the borough. This center, despite being in the urbanized
zone, still retains much of its provincial atmosphere with colonial era
mansions and cobblestone streets. Much of the borough’s importance stems from
its forested conservation areas, as it functions to provide oxygen to the Valley of
Mexico and serves for aquifer recharge.
Seventy percent of Mexico City’s water comes from wells in this borough.

“I went to see a band
in New York.
The lead singer got
on the microphone, and he said
How many of you
people feel like human beings tonight?
Then he said
How many of you feel
like animals?
And everyone cheered
after the animals part.
But the thing is, I
cheered after the human being part because I did not know that there was a
second part to the question.”
~Mitch Hedberg
