GURDJIEFF :THE GREAT ENIGMA/THE UNKNOWABLE
GURDJIEFF,the Great Enigma,the Unknowable, had two kinds of children:his real, apparent children and those who 'inherited' hhis methods, practices, dances, movements, documents, writings, teaching and other aspects of his 'SYSTEM'. The life of Gurdjieff can be split into 'three' significant sections: his childhood and youth(formative years?); his middle life; and the FINAL PERIOD,although it can also be considered in terms of WWI,The Russian Revolution, and WWII. Either way you cut it, either way you spit it, the Life of Gurdjieff whether as described true or false,real or imaginary, as gleaned from his own writings and accounts of his various activities or books by his 'disciples' or detractors, his life is a most fascinating and intriguing life, from which we can learn much if we truly look, observe, and meditate.
