“绳子小组”与神秘主义大师葛吉夫的文学联系

The Rope Group’s Literary Connections with Gurdjieff

20世纪20-30年代风靡巴黎的神秘主义大师葛吉夫的思想来源是复杂多样的,他不但创立"人类和谐发展机构"传播第四道思想,还与旅居巴黎的几位女作者建立以修行为目的的学习小组——"绳子小组"。在修行教学过程中,葛吉夫与学员们在文学上找到了共同话题,进行神秘主义思想和文学创作的二维交流。小组成员则把个人发展与精神修行结合起来,根据各自的特点取长补短,一方面把葛吉夫思想内化为创作的灵感和动力,另一方面进行相互协作的集体创作实验。葛吉夫与"绳子小组"间文学创作与神秘主义思想的双向交流不但提高成员创作的数量,也在很大程度上影响她们文学创作的方式、主题和思想内涵。

As a popular Guru in the 1920 s and 1930 s,George Gurdjieff not only established the Institute of Human Harmonious Development in Paris to promote his the Fourth Way esoteric system,but also formed a study group called"the Rope Group"with several expatriate ladies,mainly for disseminating his ideas.In the course of his teachings,Gurdjieff and his students exchange ideas about occultism as well as literary creation based on their common interests in writing.The members of the Rope Group also combined their personal development with the spiritual work by drawing on each other’s strength,in order to internalize Guidjieff’s occultism and conduct the collective writing experiment.The exchange between Gurdjieff and his students increased the quantity of their creation and influenced the techniques,the themes and the ideas of their works.
