Gurdjieff, by Elizabeth Barrett

Gurdjieff (1866-1949) was a very influential spiritual teacher, and his teaching of the “Fourth Way” was ahead of its time and pre-dated the findings of later neuroscience, especially the “three centres”: the sensorimotor centre, the emotional centre and the cognitive centre and his teaching of multiple self-states. In this talk Elizabeth Barrett, a long-time student of “the work” gives us her story of her encounter with “the work”, and how it transformed her life. In the short time available, Elizabeth introduces us to some of the key teachings of the Fourth Way. Photo: Dushka Howarth, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons
