Gurdjieff Unveiled: An Introduction to Gurdjieff's Teaching - Week 3/8 - Divided Attention

Have you been meaning to learn more about the mystic philosopher/teacher with the unusual name, G.I. Gurdjieff? Perhaps you have been intrigued to hear about “Fourth Way” study groups, but a bit too intimidated by the vocabulary to join in. As mentioned by Sy Ginsburg in the preface to Gurdjieff Unveiled: An Overview and Introduction to Gurdjieff’s Teaching, he wrote his book for you. His book, as well as this class, is “for the beginning student, for the inquiring seeker, and for the simply curious.”

This course will introduce new students to the principles of Gurdjieff’s teaching. Once they understand the principles, students generally join an ongoing group in order to put these principles into practice. This ongoing “Work” helps students move from identification with the personality to essence, that which we truly are. Other traditions have called essence our soul. Gurdjieff calls it Endlessness.

Download Sy’s book for free and join him in an exploration of the basic principles Gurdjieff set forth for self-transformation. Each class includes reading, discussion, and practical exercises to expand consciousness.
