Gurdjieff’s Mystery Warning

The Dark Journalist ventures into the spiritual realm with a program that explores the works of the great mystics of the early 20th century.

The key focus here is on George Gurdjieff, the philosopher and spiritual teacher, who called his brand of ancient wisdom “the Fourth Way.” This involved blending together the traditional pathways of the fakir, the monk and the yogi.

Much of what Gurdjieff taught came to be documented and spread by the Russian philosopher P.D. Ouspensky and the so-called Mystery Schools. It’s a timely subject as Gurdjieff did much of his research in Afghanistan, although he disseminated this knowledge primarily in Russia and later, in Paris.
