About
George Ivanovich Gurdjieff(G. I. Gurdjieff) was born in Alexandropol, Russia. He was an influential early 20th century Russian philosopher and spiritual teacher. He taught that most humans do not possess a unified mind-body consciousness and thus live their lives in a state of hypnotic "waking sleep", but that it is possible to transcend to a higher state of consciousness and achieve full human potential. He wrote several books include: Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson, Meetings with Remarkable Men, The Herald of Coming Good, The Inner Journey, and The Struggle of the Magicians.
