b. c. 721; southern Iran
d. c. 815; Kufa

Geber, the Latinized name of Abu Musa Jabir ibn Hayyan, was a philosopher, astronomer, and alchemist noted for his experimental work which lead to modern chemistry. A Muslim, Ibn Hayyan was also a Sufi, believing that it is possible to draw closer to God and to more fully embrace the Divine Presence in this life.

Geber quotes ~
• “The first essential in chemistry is that you should perform practical work and conduct experiments, for he who performs not practical work nor makes experiments will never attain the least degree of mastery.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
b. 8-28-1749; Frankfur am Main, Germany
d. 3-22-1832; Weimar, Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was a polymath: novelist, dramatist, poet, painter, humanist, scientist, philosopher, theologian, and stateman.

Carl Gustav Jung was influenced by Goethe's Faust. - “Faust is not of this world and therefore it transports you; it is as much the future as the past and therefore the most living present.” - C. G. Jung, Letters.

Goethe quotes ~
• “Science and art belong to the whole world, and before them vanish the barriers of nationality.”
• “Doubt grows with knowledge.”
• “Beauty is a manifestation of secret natural laws, which otherwise would have been hidden from us forever.”
• “A creation of importance can only be produced when its author isolates himself, it is a child of solitude.”
• “Correction does much, but encouragement does more.”
• “Divide and rule, the politician cries; unite and lead, is watchword of the wise.”
• “A really great talent finds its happiness in execution.”
• “Let everyone sweep in front of his own door, and the whole world will be clean.”

George Gurdjieff
b. 1-14-1866(?); Armenia, Russian Empire
d. 10-29-1949; Neuilly-sur-Seine, France

Gurdjieff, considered a mystic and a spiritual teacher, called his discipline "The Work”.

The feature film Meetings with Remarkable Men (1979), based on Gurdjieff's book by the same name.

Gurdjieff quotes ~
• “Without self knowledge, without understanding the working and functions of his machine, man cannot be free, he cannot govern himself and he will always remain a slave. ”
• “A man will renounce any pleasures you like but he will not give up his suffering.”
• “It is the greatest mistake to think that man is always one and the same. A man is never the same for long. He is continually changing. He seldom remains the same even for half an hour.”
• “Religion is doing; a man does not merely think his religion or feel it, he "lives" his religion as much as he is able, otherwise it is not religion but fantasy or philosophy.”
