The teaching migrated northward |

Amazingly, Gurdjieff found, as he said, that "prehistoric Egypt was Christian many thousands of years before the birth of Christ, that is to say, that its religion was composed of the same principles and ideas that constitute true Christianity."
Elements of the prehistoric teaching had migrated northward with time, and so he journeyed to Central Asia, the Hindu Kush, and contacted many long-hidden brotherhoods. Gurdjieff—having discovered the 'blueprint' of prehistoric Christianity—traveled to these areas, reassembled, and reformulated the teaching for modern times. Then in 1912, he brought it to the West where it now exists as The Fourth Way.
The second video in the series—Gurdjieff's Mission: Establishing the Teaching to the West, 1912–1924—will explore Gurdjieff's struggle to open his institute amid the mass psychosis of the Russian Revolution and its aftermath.
