I have finally solved the mystery of chapter 8 of ’I am the Gate’ where Osho says Hessenhoff gave Hitler the anticlockwise swastika, a destructive symbol. There was no important Nazi called Hessenhoff. Osho was thinking of Karl Ernst Haushofer, 1869-1946. According to the documentary below, Gurdjieff gave Hitler through Haushofer the anticlockwise swastika, a symbol that would lead the Nazis to destruction. See 31 and 32 minutes into the documentary. It is an interesting documentary. It says Gurdjieff briefly taught Stalin when he was a very young man, Josef Djugashvili, with nickname Soso. See photos here where young Stalin sports a Gurdjieff moustache. http://murdertutorials.tumblr.com/post/102315203726/young-stalin-mugshot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Gurdjieff

thanks Alok. Might be worth putting on the home page. Are you happy if we do that?
Of course. It is a good documentary of Gurdjieff, with lots of footage of the man and his dances. Thanks for the link to Deutschland 83. I watched and enjoyed the first two episodes last night. I thought the depiction of sannyasins was quite good excepting the fact that in ’83 Osho had I think only a handful of RRs; 93 was achieved in ’85.
The depiction was okay. BUT this business of the quarrel with families, etc did not ring true for me. At Medina one could visit one’s family independently, and also they were always welcome to visit us in the Medina community.
Yes, you are right about the family quarrel etc.
