The Gurdjieff Study Resource

Originally conceived of as a study resource for Gurdjieff’s writings the scope of this resource was expanded to include all aspects of objective science. The resource is for those who do not wish to participate in the different study groups but would like to have access to the information that has been gathered to help in those studies.

It is a continually growing, with new information and ideas being contributed by members of  the Study Groups and also by subscribers to this Gurdjieff Study Resource.
