"The present period of culture is, in the whole process of perfecting humanity, an empty and abortive interval."
— G.I. Gurdjieff, Meetings with Remarkable Men

Picture of G.I. Gurdjieff as a young man GEORGE IVANOVITCH GURDJIEFF
(1872–1949) a seminal spiritual figure, introduced to the West an ancient yet unknown esoteric teaching of development and awakening, one that teaches how to creatively use the diverse impressions of ordinary life to come to real life.
          Humanity, Gurdjieff realized, had entered a precarious new period in its evolution. The world would be destroyed, Gurdjieff warned, unless the 'wisdom' of the East and the 'energy' of the West were harnessed and used harmoniously. To effect this Harnelmiatznel, Gurdjieff gave the necessary shock—he introduced to the West a unique and powerful esoteric teaching of self-transformation. Gurdjieff called it The Fourth Way.
          An original teaching, The Fourth Way is neither a mixture of spiritual lines nor a modern eclectic concoction. It is, as Gurdjieff declared, "completely self-supporting and independent of other lines and it has been completely unknown up to the present time."
         The teaching of The Fourth Way is the last esoteric message of the present cycle.
