The thing that came up for me (and I don't know if it will provide any help or guidance) was this sense of being ahead of your time. That often people who are pushing boundaries and experimenting with ideas that are coming through them are not fully recognized until well after the seeds of their work have been planted. I imagine this was also true of Gurdjieef's and KM's work. Interesting to think about how they navigated this issue as well--finding a way to stay afloat in the reality of mortality and all its demands, while also remaining devoted to the magic that was tenaciously moving through them. I know Jung spoke of the torment of being called to be a creator (his 2 personalities). Again, I don't have much guidance here, only reflections that were calling to be shared.
I admit I stopped reading when it went behind the paywall. Even though I agree writers should be compensated, I'm not in a position to do so right now. Also editing and suggesting changes is work, so it could be seen that you are asking people to pay to work, which is probably why only a few extra people signed up. I don't have the answer I'm afraid, and I think this is a great project. I will buy the book when it's done.
