Ouspensky, brilliantly wrote “In Search of The Miraculous,” which explains Gurdjieff’s teachings in detail. Gurdjieff loved the book and forgave Ouspensky for their ongoing dispute. Ouspensky, was highly intelligent and wrote many books. He was a philosopher and had a school teaching the 4th Way. However, Ouspensky being highly intellectual, lacked the emotional heart of understanding Gurdjieff’s works and died a broken man. Gurdjieff was right, you must understand the “WORK’ with your whole being, your whole mass to live his ideas. I can teach you the 4th Way because I understand the heart of Gurdjieff’s teachings.
Spinoza’s God is Nature, not an anthropomorphic being or a personal God. He is a Being comprised of infinite attributes which are eternal. Fortunately, we are a part of two, the infinite and eternal attribute “Thought” and “Extension.” Our mind and our body are modes of these two attributes. Spinoza’s Ethics explains the nature of God, the Mind, of Human Nature and Freedom from Emotional Bondage. If you have difficulty in understanding Spinoza’s Ethics, you may want help. It has taken me ove 30 years to grasp Spinoza’s philosophy and I love sharing what I understand. Please feel free to email me with any question.
