THE FOURTH WAY

Like so many people concerned with Gurdjieff, I became acquainted with the 'ideas' through his more prominent exponent, one famous before G, as to which Gurdjieff was often referred, namely P>D> Ouspensky. It was in 1957, the year before I graduated from the University of New Hampshire where I was somewhat majoring in the minimum courses of Psychology when I came across a book in the college library that arrested my attention every time I passed by the new acquisitions shelves. Every time I looked at the hardcover volume I was drawn by the photo of Ouspensky on the back bookcover and thumbing through its table of contents,etc. I eventually and finally took it out and read it. Needless to say, this book,entitled THE FOURTH WAY changed nearly all my views on not only psychology and mankind but on certain aspects of life and the Universe and probably this same book has done so for many others around the world where English is spoken and read.
