RE: The life of George Gurdjieff
I'm agree with you, his writing is impenetrable. But, it is interesting and both (Gurdjieff and Ouspensky) are the most outstanding for the dissemination of the Fourth Way in the West, and the fact of spending years traveling and taking the best points of each culture known to them and thus form a new doctrine is admirable
In Search of the Miraculous by Ouspensky is an excellent work. When reading about the fourth way you need to be mindful that it is also necessary to function in the real world too though. It can take you on a surreal journey and it becomes easy to detach yourself from reality. With such thought provoking ideas it is hardly surprising. My advice would be to read, learn but keep an open mind and keep one foot on the ground ;)
