The very aim of our society seems to be to remove from people responsibility for their lives and acts. The way of transformation must be the exact opposite of this. Whatever else it may lead to, it must make us into free, responsible individuals, able to direct our own lives in accordance with the greatest objective good.

J. G. Bennett

Don’t Seek Water, Get Thirst
The creation, substance and possibility
were made for the purpose of relieving need
and distress is the witness of worthiness
that the seeker may meet with the sought.

Wherever there is a pain, the cure is drawn.
Wherever a want, the bounty goes there.
Where a troubling question, an answer appears.
To the dry ship, water comes.

Do not seek water
get thirst.

Until the baby cries
the mother’s breast is dry.

Go running
‘til you gasp

become a want
then you’ll hear the thunderclap
turn your face up
to rain

Your need is not less than that of your garden.
When it is dry, you dig and pump
to bring water.

For your dry soul
thirsting
clouds of Mercy are gathering
ready to burst open

If you would hear
the heavens speak
be thirst!

Rumi

2010 Intensive at Camp Caravan

Welcome!

The aim of this site is to provide information about the 4th Way residential study course being offered at Camp Caravan, Royalston, MA from June 20 to July 31, 2010.

In addition to specific course information we have also put together a brief description of the 4th Way along with background information on the two teachers whose ideas and methods we will be presenting, G. I. Gurdjieff and J. G. Bennett. You will also find information here on who we are (Millers River Educational Cooperative - MREC) and some of our other projects such as The Village School, a children's school celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.

If you are serious about wanting to become a true human being, and realize the need for practical methods and help toward that aim, please consider making an application to attend this course.

Thank you.
The MREC group
