Yin Yang, It troubles me that you would sully this forum with trash novella substitutions for biography. The hack you quote with the misleading title of "P.D. Ouspensky" apparently has a reputation for dubious research. Consider what Paul Krassner says about your overquoted "source": "Lachman chooses to focus on the negative aspects of a mass awakening that provided hope, inspiration, joyfulness and a sense of community to countless young people. In the process, he resorts to ... lying generalizations . . . Marred by a dependence on secondary research . . . and even takes metaphors literally to express his prejudice."
Prejudice, that would be " preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience".
Perhaps you would like to take your talk about P. D. Ouspensky to another topic forum. But as far as Ouspensky's relationship with the topic of this post goes: Try an internet search on the term "Ouspensky Renounced Gurdjieff" and the only items that pop up are from an "anonymous" blogger called Gurdjieff-Con and the has-been rock and roll guitar player who cashes in by slandering the names of historical figures.
Even though depressed, alcoholic Ouspensky, didn't like Gurdjieff' teaching the dance movements and the personal work- (he wanted this to be a fixed system that was taught in the classroom) he NEVER renounced Mr. Gurdjieff.
You said you were done here, Yin Yang, Good day.
