Comment on Bennett on evolution
As noted before several times Bennett’s thinking is less outlandish than it might seem.
To speak of the ‘will’ of the sun doesn’t really mean what it seems to mean in Bennett who has very carefully built up the ‘triad of being function will’ as this applies to all forms of existence in the degrees of manifestation of the will.
The problem is that none of this is ‘falsifiable’ or empirically verifiable, of course.
Gurdjieff, the ultimate source of this ‘ray of creation’ thematic claimed great esoteric antiquity for this thinking. I would be wary of anyone who thought such speculative confusion was in the realm of the esoteric.
I think this material was made up some time in the nineteenth century by some sufi idiot who was knocked senseless by a dose of baraka and went off the deep end.
To present such ideas as beyond criticism because they are esoteric (in his own version Bennett never did so) is balderdash.
The world needs to release those hooked on these illusions from their bondage.
In Bennett’s version (already at a considerable distance from the Gurdjieffian version) this thinking has a vague kind of plausibility, but since it is beyond verification obviously nothing can come of it.
