Opis

Being is who we are. Knowledge is what we acquire. The combination of Being and Knowledge together; is our Understanding. The Fourth Way teaches how to increase our Being, enlarging our understanding of ourselves, and the world around us. This is an introductory exploration of The Fourth Way System. This knowledge base is the truth behind many religions, philosophies, art, and architecture. It can enlighten a person about their own position in life as well as give them the tools to open up possibilities towards becoming conscious. Increasing your being increases your consciousness. The Balance of Being puts forth the verifiable concept that there is a conscious thread that lies behind all Humanity and the Religious, Philisophical and Intellectual works, which aim at keeping man on a higher level of deeds and accomplishments. This Fourth Way system is a little known school of Esoteric Knowledge, which was formed at the beginning of the last century by Russian Mystic, George Gurdjieff and the Writer, P.D. Ouspensky. These two prolific authors, whose works gained popularity in the sixties in America, and in the Eighties in Europe and Russia; are highlighted in The Balance of Being. There is an interesting, short history of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky, focusing on the formation of their school, The Fourth Way. In a world where religions, and schools of modern thought seek to diversify and quantify, The Fourth Way's aim is to harmonize this diversity of information, as well as bring it all back to the core principle of creating consciousness in it's participants. The Balance of Being is a source/reference book to the major works of esoteric knowledge of the last hundred years.
