Take the understanding of the East and the knowledge of the West – and then seek.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

– #19, Gurdjieff\u2019s Aphorisms<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cInner evolution,\u201d \u201cspiritual development and growth,\u201d \u201chuman potential,\u201d \u201cgrowth of being.\u201d Seekers hear these and other such concepts which may speak to an inner longing for a practical way of working in life. The multitude of options available to us can seem bewildering; a maze with no clear path, or a curiosity yearning for a practical next step.<\/span><\/p>\n

From transformative, esoteric teachings and practices he found in the most vital living sources of both eastern wisdom and western knowledge, Mr. Gurdjieff\u2019s Work addresses our human condition with a path for inner development, helping us verify higher truths in a real and constantly changing world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gurdjieff\u2019s \u201cFourth Way\u201d is brought as something we can experience in daily life, not requiring a withdrawal from the practical world as in other traditional ways of the fakir, monk or yogi. To be touched sincerely by a fundamental question could lead the way to a real path:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Who am I?<\/span><\/p>\n

What is my purpose in life?<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the larger sense and purpose of human life on Earth?<\/span><\/p>\n

Do I have a place in the cosmos?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gurdjieff\u2019s life was wholly dedicated to the pursuit of forgotten knowledge and the means to transmit it in a form accessible to people today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of this wisdom was introduced to the larger public by P.D. Ouspensky\u2019s book <\/span>In Search of the Miraculous (Fragments of an Unknown Teaching). <\/span><\/i>For many this has been their initial encounter with Gurdjieff\u2019s powerful ideas and some of the legends that have surrounded his name.<\/span><\/p>\n

Part of a library\u2019s worth of <\/span>material<\/span><\/a> inspired by Gurdjieff\u2019s ideas or written by him directly, it points to the need to not just leave information on a page, but to seek a community of those who may share our questions and help us take another step.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sponsored by <\/span>The Gurdjieff Foundation of Ohio,<\/span><\/a> three introductory forums will be presented at the Ohio Theater, Columbus Association for The Performing Arts (CAPA), Galbreath Pavilion in downtown Columbus. Each forum will explore an introduction to some of the legacy and ideas of Mr. Gurdjieff, including some of the many forms of his Work.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Presenting at CAPA, Galbreath Pavilion, Rehearsal Room #1 in Downtown Columbus:<\/em><\/p>\n

“What Is My Purpose In Life?” – An Introductory Series<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Forum #1: Community At Work
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Thursday, November 7th, 2019, 6:30\u20138:00 pm
\nInfluence & Transmission<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Doors open November 7<\/span>th<\/span> at 6:30 pm in Rehearsal Room #1 of the Columbus Association For The Performing Arts, Galbreath Pavilion (within the Ohio Theater) where the film <\/span>\u201cL\u2019INFUENCE D\u2019UN MAITRE\u201d (The Influence Of A Master) <\/span><\/i>will be shown from<\/span> The Seekers of Truth <\/span><\/i>documentary film series<\/span>.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Influence Of A Master, <\/span><\/i>presented locally to the public for the first time, is a look at George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff\u2019s influence on many of his closest and most devoted pupils who preserved and transmitted his immense teaching to current and future generations. It includes rare footage of Movements taught by those who first received them directly, and performed by Foundation groups.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Forum #2: Work With Attention
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Thursday, November 14th, 2019, 6:30 – 8:00 pm
\nStillness & Movement<\/em><\/p>\n

What does it mean to work with Movements given by Gurdjieff, which challenge our everyday automatism? In this forum, the experience of moving together in an unaccustomed way can help us know ourselves from new perspectives, and participate in the ongoing work of refining one of our most important human qualities: our attention.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Forum #3: Work With Others
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Thursday, November 21st, 2019, 6:30 – 8:00 pm
\nReading & Exchange<\/em><\/p>\n

From <\/span>Madame Jeanne De Salzmann\u2019s <\/span>The Reality of Being<\/span><\/i><\/a>:<\/span><\/i> \u201cWe can do nothing without one another. The exchange we have together is more necessary than our daily bread. We make efforts alone\u2014we struggle alone, suffer alone, respond alone. But a moment comes when exchange is indisputable, when we need to nourish one another with the fruits of our efforts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

By taking in the ideas as a community, and trying together to understand, we can better help define our most important questions \u2013 the beginning of one\u2019s search.<\/span><\/p>\n
