One can see that with the turmoil of the Russian Revolution,
Mr. Gurdjieff could not have stayed in Russia for too long.
He could not have perhaps operated in the same way, with the
same freedoms under Stalin, as he would be able to in Paris
and Fontainbleau.
Lenin said that the long term plan had never included "The people"
being in control. Gurdjieff "had" to go to France.
The Laws of Manu, as reported by Mr. Ouspensky stated that
for a school to exist, there needs to be political stability.
Mr. Gurdjieff existed through the first half of the twentieth century,
WWI, Russian Revolution and the overthrow of the Tzar,
His father was killed in the Armenian genocide,
The Great Depression, WWII, he outlasted them all, even for another
four years after the war. He brought his work to it all.
