G. I. Gurdjieff and P.D. Ouspensky

The work of G. I. Gurdjieff, an esotericist who 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.
