A holy man is someone who can enter higher worlds at will. John Bennett, c. 1964 This article continues the autobiographical story begun in ‘The Fourth Way: A Hazardous Path’ (2017), and begins with describing how John Godolphin Bennett, a pupil of G. I. Gurdjieff, set up a school to “prepare for a time of troubles”. There follows what happened after his death and my subsequent explorations of the Fourth Way up until now.

This is challenging. Most people will assume that there is some ‘right answer’ or ‘best idea’ and so forth even if they not consciously believers in some ideology or authority. They will also tend to regard the intrusion of other people’s minds into theirs with suspicion and even downright rejection. In other words, they will assume that they know what they mean and others simply do not understand them correctly. Both these assumptions have to be suspended. This is not done by preaching to people but by enabling them to actually do something that can make progress in thinking together.
