Fourth Way

Fourth Way
According to this system, the chief difference between the three traditional schools, or ways, and the fourth way is that "they are permanent forms which have survived throughout history mostly unchanged, and are based on religion. Where schools of yogis, monks or fakirs exist, they are barely distinguishable from religious schools. The fourth way differs in that it is not a permanent way. It always has some work of a specific import, and is never without some task around which and in connection with which it can alone exist. The Fourth Way mainly addresses the question of people's place in the Universe, their possibilities for inner development, and transcending the body to achieve a higher state of consciousness. Overview[edit] Three ways[edit] Gurdjieff taught that traditional paths to spiritual enlightenment followed one of three ways: The Way of the fakir The Way of the monk The Way of the yogi The Fourth Way[edit] Origins[edit] Similarities with other teachings[edit] Self-Observation

P. D. Ouspensky Peter D. Ouspensky ([pronunciation?]; Pyotr Demianovich Ouspenskii, also Uspenskii or Uspensky, Пётр Демья́нович Успе́нский; 5 March 1878 – 2 October 1947)[1] was a Russian esotericist known for his expositions of the early work of the Greek-Armenian teacher of esoteric doctrine George Gurdjieff, whom he met in Moscow in 1915. He was associated with the ideas and practices originating with Gurdjieff from then on. In 1924, he separated from Gurdjieff personally, for reasons he explains in the last chapter of his book In Search of the Miraculous. Career[edit] Ouspensky was born in Moscow in 1878. Denying the ultimate reality of motion in his book Tertium Organum,[6] he also negates Aristotle's Logical Formula of Identification of "A is A" and finally concludes in his "higher logic" that A is both A and not-A.[7] Ouspensky's lectures in London were attended by such literary figures as Aldous Huxley, T.

New Age Range of new religious beliefs and practices New Age meditation group at the Snoqualmie Moondance festival, 1992 New Age is a range of spiritual or religious practices and beliefs which rapidly grew in Western society during the early 1970s. Precise scholarly definitions of the New Age differ in their emphasis, largely as a result of its highly eclectic structure. Despite its highly eclectic nature, a number of beliefs commonly found within the New Age have been identified. Centered primarily in Western countries, those involved in the New Age have predominantly been from middle and upper-middle-class backgrounds. Definitions[edit] One of the few things on which all scholars agree concerning New Age is that it is difficult to define. — Scholar of religion Daren Kemp, 2004 The New Age phenomenon has proved difficult to define, with much scholarly disagreement as to its scope.

Fourth Way enneagram Enneagram with point numbers and octave designations for octave beginning at point 9. Points 3 and 6 show "shock points" at which a new Do may enter and develop alongside the existing octave. Origins[edit] As reported by P. D. Ouspensky the enneagram was introduced by George Gurdjieff to his study groups in Saint Petersburg and Moscow in 1916. Idries Shah, a populariser of Sufism, has claimed that the enneagram has a Sufi provenance and that it has also been long known in coded form disguised as an octagram.[4] Another claim to a Sufi provenance is offered by the Sufi Enneagram website.[5] The archives of the Naqshbandi Sufi order of Daghestan have been claimed to provide an account of a meeting between Gurdjieff and Shaykh Sharafuddin Daghestani in which the secret of the nine points was transmitted to Gurdjieff.[6] Robin Amis claims an Orthodox Christian origin, claiming that both Gurdijeff and Ouspensky developed their teaching with insights gained from visits to Mount Athos.[7] [edit]

Category:New religious movements A new religious movement (NRM), or alternative religious movement, is a faith-based community, or ethical, spiritual, or philosophical group originating in the modern age. NRMs may be novel in origin or they may be part of a wider religion, such as Christianity, in which case they will be distinct from pre-existing denominations. There is no one criterion or set of criteria for describing a group as a "new religious movement". Movements, groups, and organizations that are commonly described in reliable sources as new religious movements, alternative religious movements, cults, marginal religious movements, or equivalent labels should be added to this category. Some authors use World War II as the dividing line after which anything is "new", whereas others define as "new" everything after the advent of the Bahá'í Faith (mid-19th century) or even everything after Sikhism (17th century).
