Hey there Mike,
I am still reading Byzantium Endures (more than halfway through), and I got to the point where there were references to Gurdjieff and his disciple Ouspensky. It has been at least ten years since I have read anything by either of them, and that was really light reading which I covered while studying into Gnosticism through a Gnostic group called the Universal Christian Gnostic Movement. They are a bit of a radical group, which is strongest in the Spanish speaking world, and I dissassociated from them after coming to know their politics (though for a time, I did teach some free lectures for them primarily dealing with pranayama breathing and meditation since I study yoga). Anyways, all weirdness aside, I was wondering if you could recommend any works by Gurdjieff? Its been quite a while since I have been into any philosophical reading, and the topic came up the other night when I found myself in a group with my friend Christine and another fellow talking about Ayurveda which quickly shifted focus to hinduism and philsophy.
