About me:
The FOURTH WAY - NEW YORK, NYC

Regarding P.D. Ouspensky's book titled 'The Fourth Way'

In his early lectures G.I. Gurdjieff described his approach to self-development as the 'Fourth Way'. In contrast to the three eastern teaching routes that emphasize development of the body, mind, or the emotions ...separately, George Gurdjieff worked on all three aspects simultaenously WITHOUT students retiring from the 'world' at large; they worked internally on their psychology IN THE ORDINARY CONDITIONS OF LIFE. Gurdjieff's teaching elucidation is sometimes referred to as "The Gurdjieff Work", "Work on oneself" or simply the "Work". Although Gurdjieff never put major emphasis on the term "Fourth Way" and never used the phrase in his writings, his pupil Peter (P.D.) Ouspensky made the term central to his writings and his own teaching of the Gurdjieff 'system'. After Ouspensky's passing, his students published a book with that name, THE FOURTH WAY.

Gurdjieff's teaching system addresses mankind's place in the universe, possibilities for inner psychic/spiritual development. He declared people live each day in a mechanical momentum ...of a psychological dream-world, a self-delusional "waking sleep," but that higher levels of consciousness, higher bodies, and various inner abilities are possible to work toward and attain.

Gurdjieff taught how to increase and focus attention and energy in various ways, how to dissolve daydreaming and absentmindedness. This teaching is the beginning of a process of change, to transform a person into what Gurdjieff taught "one ought to be".

Comment..

It seems that the world is moving towards chaos. With the upsurge in revolutions in the middle east this last while, prices going up, taxes and cutbacks.
We who are interested in the work, are perhaps in the most important space
on this planet at this time in history.

Remember what Gurdjieff told Ouspensky?

To be continued.
