'THE SECRET TALKS OF GURDJIEFF' or HIS SECRET TEACHINGS
The secret teachings and talks of Gurdjieff are that only in that they were delivered or given to many specific groups in various settings and with varied results but also not presented in the usual manners such things are usually done or which others expect. Those who were present often made surreptitious notes or wrote them down from memory after undergoing such 'ordeal's, like THE TOAST OF THE IDIOTS, but that is another matter. I will place these as separate topics with not much elaboration but those who study them can perhaps find some of them stated in other ways in other writings and books, that deal with the FOURTH WAY exactly and in other systems that tend to hint about certain ideas.

I have posted an image of the book entitled, 'SECRET TALKS WITH MR. G' which is supposed to have, or may have, possibly come from E.J. Gold or written by someone using an assumed name or pseudonymn by those critics of it as an attempt to present an interpretation of GURDJIEFF'S ideas and practices, posibly with a motive to establish a special version of these, under a specific group activity and practice, of which actual or real connections to the original line(s) established Gurdjieff may ot exist or, at best, very tenuous and ambiguous,etc.
