Discussing
his search in Egypt for the source of esoteric knowledge, Gurdjieff
said, "It will seem strange to many people when I say that
this prehistoric Egypt was Christian many thousands of years before
the birth of Christ." Of his discoveries, he said, "The
Christian church, the Christian form of worship, was not invented
by the fathers of the church. It was all taken in a ready-made form
from Egypt, only not from the Egypt that we know but from one which
we do not know. This Egypt was in the same place as the other but
it existed much earlier. Only small bits of it survived in historical
times, and these bits have been preserved in secret and so well
that we do not even know where they have been preserved."
