		The Gurdjieff teaching may perhaps be understood as a journey into and beyond that silence along with and by means of the demand to attend to the ordinary life of ourselves as we are.

		By 1909 Gurdjieff had learned secrets of the human psyche and of the universe that he knew to be necessary for the future welfare of humanity, and he set himself the task of transmitting them to those who could use them rightly.

	CESNUR 2001 - Gurdjieff's Changes (Wellbeloved)

		Gurdjieff's "theology" leaves no place for the notion of the existence of an objective God who is other than the self...
		In his book "Beelzebub's..." Gurdjieff talks about "a future prophet of consciousness", and many believe he is "Subud", a Javanese, on whom in 1925 a ball of light descended and overwhelmed him; an event called "a latithan" (God's power purifying the soul).
		It is one the offshoots of Gurdjieff: A "monastic" group under Robert Burton.

	Gurdjieff, Self-Observation, Self-Sensing, Breathing
		Gurdjieff makes clear that it is only when our ordinary attention is actively occupied with experiencing the present moment that the higher energy of awareness can appear, an awareness that relates us simultaneously to our inner and outer worlds.
		Using various methods handed down from Gurdjieff, we were to attempt to discover in ourselves an attention that could "record" whether what we were experiencing at the moment was a thought, a feeling, a sensation, or some combination of these or other functions.
		First introduced to the West by G.I. Gurdjieff, the remarkable teacher of psycho-spiritual transformation, as part of his overall system of work on oneself, self-observation is best approached not as a technique but rather as an entirely new relationship to oneself as a living, breathing being.

	Introduction to Gnosis #20
		Gurdjieff, who believed human beings were on a low rung of an enormous cosmic food chain, did not think awakening was possible for any more than a few isolated individuals working together, who, like prisoners digging a tunnel, may be able to find a way out.
		Gurdjieff's abundant sense of humor, his relentless will, the depth of his teachings, the richness and drama of his life, all retain the capacity to fascinate and inspire even now, forty years after his death.
		Gurdjieff taught that man in his undeveloped state was subject to the law of accident.

	Gurdjieff Internet Guide
		Gurdjieff asked: "when you remember yourself, which self do you remember?" As we are, we do not know ourselves, and we have no change 'of remembering the right self', but we have an idea, a concept, in our head that we know what it is and what it means, and this cuts us off.
		Gurdjieff did not bring a 'new idea of God'; what he did was to introduce the spirit of Sufism into the Western world of Christianity and in this way bringing East and West closer to each other.
		Gurdjieff's message is often misunderstood when the direction towards 0neness and God is not taken into consideration.

	Chronology of Gurdjieff's Life
		Nevertheless, punctuating Gurdjieff's narrative and certainly not offending it, are a few objective historical events which I differentiate by italicizing.
		Where Gurdjieff himself actually stipulates a date, I bracket in the chronology a source reference (using the simple code explained in the References section).
		Between then and 1912 we are chasteningly reliant on Gurdjieff's own four impressionistic accounts, which - in the nature of myth - are innocent of consistency, Aristotelian logic and chronological discipline.

	Amazon.com: Books: Gurdjieff: Making a New World (Sprittual Classics Editions)
		Gurdjieff had a knack for mesmerizing smart mathematicians and landed two of them, to give some glitz to his bizarre and second rate 'system'.
		Bennett does his valiant best to wade through the obfuscation of Gurdjieff's teaching, to make it as clear as is humanly possible, without surrending his master's conviction that any struggle for insight can only come at a huge price both personally and spiritually.
		Still I am not convinced that Gurdjieff was much more than a guy who read some esoteric books and had a bunch of unrelated bits of wisdom to proffer.

	disinformation george gurdjieff
		His teachings (often referred to as the 'Gurdjieff Work' or 'Fourth Way') became widely known through the writings and lectures of his pupil, the famous Russian mathematician and journalist Pyotr Demianovich Ouspensky, and were later propagated by Alfred Richard Orage, John Godolphin Bennett, Rodney Collins, and Dr. Maurice Nicoll.
		Recognizing that all spiritual movements eventually succumb to entropy, Gurdjieff ended his masterful use of PSYOPS adversity and confrontation at his 'initiatory laboratory' in Fontainebleu (France), concentrating upon conveying his worldview through the mammoth portable mythos 'Beelzebub's Tales To His Grandson' (1950), which developed deeper esoteric themes drawn from Sufi, Zoroasterian, Sumer, and Egyptian literature.
		Many of Gurdjieff's concepts influenced Twentieth Century culture, including the Leary/Wilson/Lilly models of 'conscious evolution', the revitalisation of Gnostic Christianity, scientific research on 'split brain' neurology and 'multiple intelligences', Gaia eco-consciousness and the reciprocal maintenance of natural systems.

	John Shirley: Gurdjieff
		Gurdjieff's own Fourth Way combines elements of the first three, and is further distinct in that it calls its practitioners to work within themselves while functioning in the ordinary, workaday world.
		In the course of his years of seeking, Gurdjieff fell ill with some of the most pugnacious micro-organisms the East could muster; and more than once he was grievously wounded by stray bullets, as he skirted the edges of wars and revolutions.
		Gurdjieff drew a sharp distinction between knowledge, in the ordinary sense, and understanding.

	The DuVersity Library: The Fourth Way
		Indeed, Gurdjieff often indicated that these conditions were ideal, especially in times of turmoil, for the 'awakening' process that he so strongly advocated and which is integral to the effectiveness of the fourth way.
		This is harmonious development, as in Gurdjieff's Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man. To some degree, his series of movements or 'sacred gymnastics' epitomised this approach (in the learning of them rather than their performance).
		Over the years since Gurdjieff's death there had been a tendency to bring in more passive lines of work such as is loosely called 'meditation'; but, perhaps more importantly, some began to suspect the critical importance of being able to learn, which is a receptive act.

	TEACHING GURDJIEFF WORK
		I have been concerned with the Gurdjieff teaching for very many years and particularly, for the last 25 years, with a group in East Anglia, in the United Kingdom.
		It is not an invented teaching; it is knowledge from the past, gathered over many years, and with considerable hardship by Gurdjieff, and recast into a psychological teaching suitable for the West and present time.
		I notice that there is considerable information on the internet about both Gurdjieff and his pupil Ouspensky and it is obviously an advantage for this to be available.

		Directly, through oral tradition, he trained disciples who, in their turn, formed groups and continue his Work until now.
