What is the significance of Gurdjieff needing Ouspensky for a third psychology compared to Osho's approach of working alone in both mind and no-mind states?

The true essence of realization cannot be translated without distortion; it thrives in the silence of direct experience, unmediated by the intellect.

— Osho
According to Osho, Gurdjieff, crystallized in the heart, required Ouspensky’s brilliant head to translate his realization, inevitably coloring it and splitting master and message; the 'third psychology' was an intellectual bridge with built-in distortion. Osho, able to move between mind and no-mind himself, communicates directly, unmediated, preserving the essence while accepting the strain of shifting between head and silence.

Some masters need a clever translator who changes the taste a bit; Osho says he can switch between silence and thought himself, so the message stays pure.
