Gurdjieff wrote three books,the third was incomplete.
Read the Fourth Way by Ouspensky first. (one of his students)
then
Meetings with Remarkable Men
Lastly
Beelzbub's tales to his grandson
This last work is indescribable without failing it in some way. Imagine someone giving you the advice of Ra yet with explanations of how to execute the concepts in real life. The Law of One is noted and then left behind, in gurdjieff's philosphy one focuses on what they can observe. The Law of One is a given, it is the laws of Three, Seven, Ninefoldness, Association, Likeness, etc that we should be studying for they express polarity and it's dance in this world. And we should be grounded in this world since this is where and when we are right now.
Initially it was in the Fourth Way by Ouspensky and his desciptionof the Ray of Creation, it's scale in relation to our "dimension," and the concept of "centers" that caught my attention. While Ra mentions these things, gurdjieff has tools to work with.
NOT EASY TO READ!!!! whether he did it consciously or not Gurdjieff doesn't infringe Free Will, these books are a puzzle. the very structure of the words, paragraphs, and chapters contain examples of the teachings within. I actually spent over a year studying just the Ennegram fitting it into his works. those four years of Gurdjieff changed who I was to the core, as much as Ra did twenty years before I found Gurdjieff.
