"It is immensely important to create a wide understanding and harmony between many different kinds of people and many different lines. For the harmony which we achieve in ourselves, in our groups and between our groups, is the example of far greater harmony which has yet to be achieved. And this greater harmony in turn is the stage onto which a really great School demonstration will one day be launched."

Is it time for the Fourth Way to re-member itself?

    What could we achieve if all of us who are remembering ourselves induced harmony into the body of the Fourth Way? What could we achieve on both a personal scale and perhaps even on some scale we do not know yet, if we shared our knowledge and being, instead of isolating ourselves to a particular branch or twig of this incredible system?

    The Fourth Way teaches one harmony, how to live and die with all aspects of one’s nature working collectively. Harmony is eternal strength.

    The Fourth Way has formed a myriad of branches, twigs, leaves, and an occasional flower, since its present incarnation during dawn of the 20th century. The split between Gurdjieff and Ouspensky is obviously of conscious design; conscious School does not produce unconscious theatre. From our perspective, we can begin to understand that the tree had to grow in diversity and complexity. Just like, we, individually, needed a false personality and negative emotions, or we would have nothing to transform. And if from our perspective in the evolution of the Work, we sense that harmony may be exactly what is needed to bridge some cosmic interval, then we need to wake from our slumber and do something about it. School directors who are reluctant to a free-flow within their dominion, may themselves be under the dominion of fear and its many faces (chief feature).

   To initiate a move towards harmony, we invite anyone who practices the disciplines of the Fourth Way to be our very welcome guest at any of our meetings, work octaves, or social functions. We are located in San Marcos, California, eight miles from the coast, thirty miles north of San Diego, fifty miles south of Orange County. If you are travelling and will be nearby, or you just feel the need for some second and third Line, please contact us by E-mail or call (760) 471-5375. Regular meeting times are 7PM Wednesday evenings and 7AM Saturday mornings. Saturday morning meetings are followed by work octaves and lunch. We are also planning a once-monthly Saturday evening meeting followed by dinner, which may be more conducive to guests and socializing.

This web site is also designed to serve as a bulletin board for any individual or group looking for the Fourth Way in their respective community. If you hold regular activities and wish to invite guests or new members, please E-mail: location, contact information, meeting time, or any other pertinent information about your group. If, for some reason, you must be more secretive, we will post just contact information and locality.

No one can ascend onto a higher step until he places another man in his own place. What a man has received he must immediately give back; only then can he receive more. Otherwise from him will be taken what he has already been given.
