Gurdjieff's followers believed he was a spiritual Master,[10] possessing objective consciousness; a human being who is fully awake or enlightened. He was also seen as an esotericist or occultist.[11] He agreed that the teaching was esoteric but claimed that none of it was veiled in secrecy; rather, Gurdjieff claimed that many people either don't have an interest or the capability to understand certain ideas. When asked about the teaching he was setting forth, Gurdjieff said, "The teaching whose theory is here being set out is completely self supporting and independent of other lines and it has been completely unknown up to the present time." The exact origins of Gurdjieff's teachings are unknown, but people have offered various sources.[12]
