George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff (1866?-1949)

George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff (1866-1949) was born and educated in Russian Armenia. He spent years searching in Central Asia, North Africa, and other places for a hidden tradition that he had found traces of in his youth. During this search, he came into contact with certain esoteric schools of thought. As a result, Gurdjieff developed his own school of thought and introduced his ideologies to Europe.

Gurdjieff's basic teaching is that human life is lived in waking sleep; transcendence of the sleeping state requires a specific inner work, which is practiced in private quiet conditions, and in the midst of life with others. This leads to otherwise inaccessible levels of vitality and awareness.
