"A man can only attain knowledge with the help of those who possess it. This must be understood from the very beginning. One must learn from him who knows." -- George Gurdjieff
George Ivanovich Gurdjieff (, , , January 13, 1866? — October 29, 1949) was a mystic and spiritual teacher. He called his discipline "The Work" (connoting "work on oneself") according to Gurdjieff's principles and instructions, or (originally) the "Fourth Way".At one point he described his teaching as "esoteric Christianity".

At different times in his life Gurdjieff formed and closed various schools around the world which followed his teachings. He claimed that the teachings he brought to the West from his own experiences and early travels expressed the truth found in ancient religions and wisdom teachings relating to self-awareness in people's daily lives and humanity's place in the universe. The title of his third series of writings, Life Is Real Only Then, When 'I Am', expresses the essence of his teachings, while his complete series of books goes under the name All and Everything.
