The problem with Gurdjieff is "just reading it" can be lethal... I'm sorry for sounding overly dramatic. He also makes it very clear that no-one can "get there" without a guru, so the first thing most do after reading him, is find the nearest "fourth way school", and then it's game over... they'll be waiting for you with wide open arms, and a slight Satanic grin...
