Amit
A
(Not Quite) Spiritual Biography
The voyage of a spiritual seeker: Ilan Amit tells about his youth in the
1950s and life in Israel, attempting to realize ideals. Meeting Dr Erich
Neumann and Moshe Feldenkreis who gave him Ouspensky¹s In Search
of the Miraculous. Then into Gurdjieff Groups, meeting Dr. Conge and Mme
de Salzmann and others.
Ilan Amit writes:
" It has often been said that inner growth can come about only
in the wake of voluntary suffering. I became blind in middle age. In my
experience it is not the suffering in itself that fosters transformation,
but the collapse of our carefully constructed shields that comes with
it, opening us up for the infinite. My suffering would remain. What of
it? Something in me is present to the immensity we are in, with all its
absurdity and wonder.."
