The fourth way as a concept comes from Antoine Fabre d'Olivet & Papus, the latter who wrote about the three factories of the human machine, being the intellectual, the emotional & the instinctive.

The fourth way isn't unique, Aurobindo's intergral yoga also combines those three aspects.

Also the Sepher Yezirah places the three Mother letters at the head, the heart & the gut & Abraham Abulafia used these with many of his spiritual techniques, also Robert Fludd did an illustration called threefold man with the same divisions.

The way of the householder was also part of Kashmir Shaivism, a central teaching of which is Vimarsha or reflexive consciousness.

The enneagram comes from S. Karpp's French book on the Zohar, mentioned in a footnote in Ouspensky's "In Search of the Miraculous" & the tetragram in "Isis Unveiled" by Madam Blavatsky.

Thanks for doing this! Would be great to fix the audio in the future. This was almost unbearable to watch/listen. But please keep the content coming! Very insightful stuff

[Gurdjieff]

Why the echo…? Clear and comprehensive text. Thank you & all the best on your enlightening project.

I just recently ran into your channel.
So happens that I was watching a video of Alan Watts where he mentioned “The way of the sly man”
Then I happen to run into your channel.
GoodStuff❗️

Anyone else thinking of the Enneagram?

Wow, what an incredible overview of Gurdjieff's Fourth Way! I've always been fascinated by his teachings, and this video beautifully captures the essence of his enigmatic path to enlightenment. The narrator does an amazing job of breaking down complex concepts into easily understandable terms. Thank you for sharing this enlightening video!

Total BS, how many Gurdjieffians have been enlightened so far? None! Ouspensky his best student was lost.. and most others fell into their egotistical lala land abyss.. Gurdjieff had something yes but doesn't seem any one else caught on to his teachings or able to master it. May be Gurdjieff himself was never enlightened either! Just a lot of power, but that's it.

at one time, i had several books written by OUESPENSKY, which included, IN SEARCH OF THE MIRACULOUS, A NEW MODEL OF THE UNIVERSE, AND ORGANUM TERREIUM, (pardon the spelling). i found them all to be extremely helpful in realizing what was at work with "higher mind"/"body as a temple". unfortunately for me though, i found my experience lacking in the understanding of how "bad psychological influences" can disorient, fragment, and arrest ones development, and state of being. l lost my sense of equilibrium before i could become experientially knowledgeable. i new the root of my experience was in the NATURAL WORLD, but the extent to which that is so was not fundamental enough to be the primary experience. i was being "leveraged" emotionally and intellectually which had the effect of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT. since then, i have come to realize the similarity between, love, compassion, the principle of YING/YANG AND THE DYNAMIC THEREIN, and THE LAW OF THREE. i am really glad there is so much interest in the aspects of consciousness, and the number of resources YOUTUBE has available. the only other thing i might add is, study the history of all known civilizations, their art, petroglyphs, sculptures, art, architecture, etc., as a way of seeing the manifestations of what the FOURTH WAY, and all schools of thought in history have expressed ( Greeks, Romans, Chinese, Indian east and west, the Egyptians and all of Africa, the aboriginals of Australia, the South American Inca, Olmec, etc. the world is filled with examples of what it means to develop a permanent MAGNETIC CENTER. it was more obvious when the only thing you have in your experience is your relationship with the natural world. but, as there are always BAD INFLUENCES, there is always corruption in many systems, which leads to there demise, or conflicts. when developed, HIGHER MIND, is manifested in a number of states of being. it is not the work of extraterrestrials. the world is a "garden" of the development of human consciousness.

Liked and subscribed. I did not mind exerting the effort to increase the signal to noise ratio, as it were; and I appreciate what you are trying to do, production-wise. There are niche flowcharts (order of applying plugins/filters, bandwidth tips, etc.), specific to software, specific to the media/layers of media, which can be found, at least within audio communities if not locateable generally. Even following the acoustic protocols, I still test the export across multiple types of devices before publishing. Your material is worthy. If you get a set procedure with which you are largely satisfied, go with it and keep doing what you're doing. Looking forward!

Audio is craking badly... Though content looks good

[JohnMoore-qvvn]
