	On the Fourth Way
		The cosmological ideas of the fourth way are closely bound with the psychological practices—this is not an armchair philosophy but an active way of life.
		But it is all somewhat academic—the fourth way is a whole, and every part relates and connects to every other part, and any approach must lead to all other approaches or it is simply not the fourth way.
		It may seem strange to see fourth way ideas expressed in terms of modern scientific thought, but much of the fourth way cosmology is supported by modern science (albeit unwittingly).

	The Fourth Way Teaching
		In the traditional ways, the way of the fakir, the way of the monk or the way of the yogi, a man attempts to gain will over either his body, emotions or intellect; he is asked to give up everything at the start and retire from life.
		Upon entering the Fourth Way, sometimes called the way of the "sly man," a man does not give up anything in his ordinary life.
		Never before known, The Fourth Way is whole and complete by itself and it is not a permanent way as the three traditional ways.

	The Fourth Way - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Fourth Way has come to be used as a general descriptive term for the body of ideas and teachings of G.
		Gurdjieff said of his Fourth Way that it simultaneously combined work on the body, emotions, and mind, and that it could be followed by ordinary people in everyday life, requiring no retirement into the desert.
		By bringing together the way of the Fakir (Sufi tradition), the way of the Yogi (Hindu and Sikh traditions) and the way of the Monk (Christian and Buddhist traditions, amongst others) Gurdjieff clearly places the Fourth Way at a crossroads of differing beliefs.

	Introduction to the Fourth Way, by Kevin Roberts RMT
		The fourth way, or way of the ‘sly man,?includes practical elements of the three fundamental ways and therefore it is necessary to briefly touch upon them.
		The progression of the fourth way (the ‘way?is always and everywhere the same, only the method of approach differs) is defined by the level, or ‘scale,?of organization of consciousness, which can be referred to as the ‘five states of "I".?People who cannot find a ‘way?are in multiplicity.
		The fourth level of consciousness, which occurs upon the crystallization of master, which itself is the fourth step, completes the stairway, the preparation for the way, and opens to the way.

	Diagnosis and Prescription: The Enneagram and The Fourth Way
		The Fourth Way is the alternative; it is the way of developing all three centers and their gifts in order to connect with one’s soul or real self.
		Briefly, Fourth Way work begins with the idea that what we call normal consciousness is a state of sleep walking, and that true consciousness is only achieved through "growing your soul" through reflection and self-observation.
		For example, an acquaintance of ours told us of attending a party with Fourth Way students; he said much of the evening was strangely spent in silence as everyone became self-conscious of what they were about to say and what it might reveal about their state of transformation.

		The Fourth way includes techniques from all the other ways that when combined produced a state of accelerated transformation, and at the same time creating a harmonious state of being by balancing the three centers.
		The practitioner of The Fourth way is able to attain a three center balance state which begins to manifest in his every day life with more and more frequency, providing him with an unmistakable taste of reality that begins to make his essence more active and his personality more passive

	A FOURTH WAY
		I believe there is a fourth way to respond to the supposed crises, one that has to do with recovery of courage in the Episcopal Church, with the regaining of nerve.
		The Fourth Way recognizes our strengths as a reasonably democratic Episcopal Church bound by friendship and hospitality to other Churches throughout the world who share with us a family history and common table fellowship and the hope for the great ecumenical vision that we all might be one.
		Having offered this Fourth Way first, for those readers interested, perhaps some thoughts might be in order on how the scenarios of illness came to be ascribed and cures proscribed.

		The Fourth Way is one of a series of books that Ouspensky wrote describing his studies with G.I. Gurdjieff, his guru and guide who showed him the way to achieve a higher conscience through practical study and work that virtually anyone can do.

	Fourth Way contacts from all around the world
		The notion of the Fourth Way is one of the Gurdjieff ideas that have captured the imagination of contemporary people and have brought quite a new meaning to the idea of esotericism itself.
		Or, as mentioned above, it is clear that his notion of the Fourth Way, that is, a rigorous spiritual discipline conducted in the midst of an individual’s ordinary life activities, has been adopted by numerous religious and psychoreligious groups throughout the West.
		His emphasis on the role of self-observation has also had widespread influence, to the extent that there is a vague, but common, understanding among spiritual seekers today that the alternatives of introspection or positivistic behaviorism by no means exhaust the possibilities of one’s ability to study and know oneself.

		In some areas of the country, they call themselves the "Fourth Way." An associated group in at least one area of the country goes by the "Fourth Brigade." For many reasons, we believe the "Fourth Way" is much more descriptive of the group’s goals and sounds a whole lot less like a radical group.

	Chapter 12 The Fourth Way (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		So much for the different ways in which the human mind and reality have to match: the onus is on the human mind to match the reality it observes, and the onus is on the reality we produce to match the human mind.
		In the Third Way it appeared that the feature X which required an explanation was, more or less, "possessing existence to a (temporally) unlimited extent"; while here it is "possessing existence to an (intensively) limited degree" which apparently requires explanation, according to the mind of St Thomas.
		But this fits fairly well with the text of the Fourth Way: "Therefore there is something that is the cause of the existence and the goodness and of all perfections in everything: and this, we say, is God." What kind of cause is being spoken of here is obscure.

		The first three paths are: (1) Way of the Fakir, the physical center, which demands physical control and extreme asceticism, (2) Way of the Monk, the emotional center, requiring devotion, faith, love, and concentration of feeling, and (3) Way of the Yogi, the intellectual center, or the path of knowledge, involving mental attention.
		The Fourth Way, also called "the Work" or "the way of the sly man" is when an effort is made in all three ways: the body (Fakir), feeling (Monk), and mind (Yogi).
		A task of Gurdjieff's teachings is to become conscious by using the methods described in the "Fourth Way." According to his teaching, consciousness has four levels: sleep, so-called waking consciousness, self-remembering, and objective consciousness.

	The Fourth Way (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The fourth way is sometimes called the way of the sly man. The "SLY MAN" knows some secret which the Fakir, the monk, and the Yogi do not know.
		He knows that this substance can be produced in one day by a certain kind of mental exercise or concentration of consciousness; so he keeps his attention on these exercises for a whole day without allowing himself a single outside thought, and he obtains what he needs.
		In this way a Yogi spends on the same thing only one day compared with the month spent by the Fakir and a week spent by the monk.

		Channel 4, I believe, by way of its original remit has contributed to that change in society by taking a unique role in encouraging and provoking debate and diversity.
		This is evident in programmes such as White Tribe, which looked at what it means to be white in a multicultural Britain; or last year's Leo Regan documentary 100% White, which explored the views of three people who had led the far Right in the 1980s but now live on the edge of society.
		There is a long way to go and work to be done before either of these statements rings true - recent troubles are testament to that.

		MISHLOVE: Now, for purposes of clarification, sometimes we hear the term the Fourth Way, Fourth Way schools, and they're often referring to the same concept, I guess -- of not choosing one of the three earlier ways, the monk, the yogi, or the fakir, but the way of the harmonious integration.

	On the Nature of the Fourth Way (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The way of the fakir, it seems to me, incorporates elements of both the way of the monk and the way of the yogi, and is in truth a rather meaningless category.
		It is my understanding that in the Fourth Way the practitioner eventually learns to dis-identify with the contents and products of her/his consciousness, whether externally or internally referenced, in order to reconnect and re-identify with the nature of her/his Essence.
		By way of contrast, the Self is known as the "luminous mirror." Its function is to channel and refract the light of Spirit into the body-mind.
