It comes to mind: 'where there is a will, there is a way.' This simple man - part explorer, part mystic, part philosopher, lived life on his own terms. While watching the documentary, I kept asking myself how on earth did he finance his endeavours! He certainly had a good head for entrepreneurialism and raising funding. Amazing life.
It is still overwhelming, now at 76, seeing that everything of any significance to my life is owed to this Man. The Universe does not have an expression for the thanks I feel.
'You have the worst art collection in Paris. 'I don't see it that way. Each painting I bought was from a struggling artist who put his heart and soul into it.' Thats humility.
I discovered the book "meetings with remarkable men " in my early teens and I was very deeply affected by it . I ran away from home in order to find my own path throwing my school books off the ferry to England, unfortunately my mother with the help of the police found me in London and brought me back to finish school. I wonder how my life would have been had she not found me. Thank you for bringing back these memories.
Never saw Gurjieff at all. I did go to "Tai Chi Farm" in Warwick N.Y. for many years. What a wonderful adventure. A world wide yearly event opened the season, (spring) when serious Old World "Masters" from all over the world would fly in, to teach ANYTHING they chose and got very close with students. VERY OPEN. VERY RUSTIC sleeping on rotting wood floors in old stead’s with no A/C, Heat, Water, plumbing, or electricity people jammed in from all over the country. One of the GREATEST LEARNING TIMES OF MY LIFE.
@@AL_THOMAS_777 it transformed my life forever...I remain to this day on the spiritual path, mostly as a Buddhist these days but always fascinated by all mystical spiritual teachings from all religious traditions and Gurjieff and my Gurdjieff teacher hold a special place of gratitude in my heart forever....they showed me the path to Work on myself. Warmest regards to you!

I lived in Tflis for 3 years , I was in Gurdjeff Institute in Italy and UK for 8 years. Then abruptly I lost the path. Thank you for sharing this document, it is so real, it makes me cry. I miss the path, that path. The path of remorse.
I am with the commentator below, in that your remembrances would make an extraordinary book. I do not have to know you to know this is true. And, I often remind myself that the great teachings throughout history come from men. A woman has a different relationship to life, even as devotees of great men.
G was my first spiritual 'trickster' and lead to my first great revelation. Then came Ouspensky and study society in London. I followed Maharishi my second 'trickster' for a decade. All fifty years ago. Now I wait in this 'conceptual life' with no ambition...day by day. Listen to various voices with no expectations.
It is another 19 years passed. I have heard first about G.I.Gurdjeff in the early 1980th, through my private teacher R.F. Kastner. And we also saw the film Meeting with remarkable men which was organized to show during a Congress in Healing by Mr. Kastner. Now my Dear private teacher expired one year ago. and my life is real because I am. And in Gratitude for all those moments of self-remembering. Thank you Mr. Gurdjieff, Bennett & Ouspensky and Thomas de Hartmann and Wife for all your work!
Ah those wonderful images! Minarets, covered markets, camel trains and desert ruins ,caravan serais and dust storms. Maybe I was there in a previous life? It sure speaks to me.Thanks John A
The quality of the black n white photography n gurdjieffs voice n the music r spellbinding ❤. His endless travels n enterprises compelling. A life well lived. 😊
I am happy to see the biography of Gurjieff we all need to understand it in order to realize it and especially to implemented within ourselves. God blessed You
The old film clippings are haunting and powerful beyond belief. s is one of the most extraordinary documentaries I've ever seen and heard - in keeping with its theme. Je vous felicite tous d'un oeuvre sans egale, qui touche profondement a l'ame. Vous demontrez ce que nous avons perdus dans le monde et sur la terre. Mais ces images et les paroles de M Gurdjief demeurent. Merci de tout coeur.
Many spiritual teachers come to Realisation after a crisis. However one has to first be ready for that crisis with deep preparation. A preparation with the questions, who are we, why are we here, what is our purpose? Only then can the crisis become an opportunity to awake. Gurdjeiff shows this so beautifully so that we can understand that ordinary is truly extra ordinary. Truly blessed to have seen this documentary. Deepest gratitude for all those who put this remarkable video together. 🙏
All I have done is to upload the film, which was made by Jean-Claude Lubtchansky with the support of the Gurdjieff Institute in France. Its necessary for others who are interested in Gurdjieff's teaching to see it as well.
What a genuine soul, what a powerful mind, what insight, and what a legacy, reading every sentence of what he taught, his writings, is such an eye opening humbling experience, a true legacy, for his stature, his name is not known nearly well enough.
I was in a Gurdjieff school for many years in Northern Cali. It is wonderful to see the places and peoples I read and studied about. This is wonderful material, and the music Is extraordinary. Thank you very much
Agreed. Osho said a lot about Gurdjieff: "George Gurdjieff is one of the most significant masters of this age. He is unique in many ways, nobody has said things in the contemporary world the way Gurdjieff has said them. He is almost like another Bodhidharma or Chuang Tzu, apparently absurd but in reality giving great pointers towards the liberation of human consciousness."
@@deeperanddeeperdon't talk about our osho like that you ignorant person 😤 only great men understand another great men guess you are not understanding or a great person u jus closed minded man who knows nothing about osho so shutup
Knew about Gurjieff...in relation to Katherine Mansfield. Didn't know he had a Greek father and Armenian mother. Have watched until very late...with sore eyes....A message much needed. Many thanks.
Poetische Dokumentation💖Er war ein Suchender der Göttlichkeit im Innen und Aussen des Menschen - jenseits aller religiösen Doktrin . Hoffe seine tiefe Suche hatte Erfolg.
WONDERFUL, THANK YOU for SHARING !!! Read a bit Gurdijeff starting my spiritual journey - he definitively influenced my thoughts. LOVE the ENERGY of this, just beautiful :-) Well done, good work - spreading LIGHT & CONSCIOUSNESS ! Blessings, love & light
I read his books in my teens and I was (and still am) impressed by his travels and his search for honesty and simplicity instead of putting up a show with magic and the promise of miracles.
I spent an evening with a Gurdjieff group in Phoenix many decades ago. What struck me was how the leader corrected a girl who moved her head and blocked his view while he was addressing me. He corrected her rather brusquely. They were very much into awareness to the subjugation of kindness.
It is a cult. One of many created by men. Pride is the greatest of sins. All of those that create cults believed that they have the absolute truth. That is a very dangerous path to follow.
Zeer interessant! Boeiend. Inspirerend. Wijs. Een mooi portret van een wijze dienstbare ziel die de verbinding zocht tussen velel beschavingen, landen, talen, religies, nationaliteiten. Steeds op zoek naar essentie. The unity!!!
@robertoponce8077 Hi Roberto - yes I will upload the other parts in due course. There is quite enough information to absorb about Gurdjieff's teaching just in part 1!
thank you for sharing this very well made Doc. It was better than the movie in sharing his dynamic and valuable life....what can you say , A Unique Human Being an Esoteric Christian.
This documentary brings back happy memories of my departed husband who had Gurdjieff’s Meeting With Remarkable Men as a “livre de chevet” ( bedside book)., which I also read. Thank you for uploading this. I now understand more about this extraordinary seeker and teacher.
Liebender John A Freudig sah ich erstmalig eine Lebensdokumentation von Gurjieff und meine Bitte ist dafür auch eine Übersetzungsmöglichkeit einzustellen Mein Englisch ist sehr einfach... Dankesfreude Segen und Herzensmut Dir Joachim Antweiler
As Constancewalsh wrote: hauntingly beautiful and powerful...a stirring of the soul. Watching Gurdjief's era, i feel such a loss for contemporary men. There is a lack of supportive fellowship for men who are seekers. Maybe Robert Bly is right, with no men of true wisdom to converse with, to learn from our men have become spiritually stultified. Where can they go to learn more about being a man? We have defaulted to a society of siblings.
Perhaps we can consider the work of Dr Gabor Mate and Dr Kathleen Speeth. Wise souls each in their way. And Speeth certainly emerges from the Gurdjieff stream in the USA.
I started questioning my existence at the age of 7, and as a child of a Muslim family at a young age, my first stop was the Quran. Then this wasn't enough for me. At the age of 13, I decided that this was not enough and continued to search in bitter anguish. I met Osho when I was 16, and at 18 I experienced kundalini in nature for the first time. I had an extraordinary experience that I didn't believe it, things were getting deeper and I was starting to get scared but I only felt good emotions and Love, my mind was still scared, then I needed someone like me or a servant, The only thing I was passionate about in life was my desire to search, there is no one like me around me, I wish there was one in the world. It is good to know that there are people like me, we will not turn back from our path. Now I am 19 years old and sometimes I progress and sometimes I take a break. I could not focus on university because of reading spiritual books. Now I decided not to study at university. I will work and gain financial freedom with savings at an early age and continue reading the books of masters about my only passion, the search.
Remarkable story. The inevitable question whether in our own view such a person accomplishes anything of value - or anything of lasting worth to society - can induce us to think more rigorously about our own beliefs and priorities.
This is one of the simple laws of octaves, Whatever you think of your work and your intentions , all of it is meaningless Because we dont decide, Truth always finds its path I know of around 10 million people Gurdjeff touched and still touches He took all of us and showed us what happened to us and boy did we need to know
All of the external search in exotic locales is what can be depicted in this visual medium. Even the spoken and written word does not fully communicate even a single central point of what Gurdjieff is saying to those who will listen -- that we are asleep. Not a metaphor, but something that can with the right kind of aim, help, and considerable effort, be established for oneself, by one's own direct experience. Naturally, since our own view is "that's crazy", or perhaps because we have "thought rigorously" about the proposition and dismissed it -- the inevitable question you have referred to never can arise. This is also referred to as "The-Terror-of-the-Situation."

There is such a vast quantity of semi-useless, language-exerted limitation and intentional obfuscation around in the oversimplified, constantly transmogrified internet era that the perennial virtues of reach7ng the source-knowledge have VIRTUALLY become untenable i.e. written into the wind ..(that,7, btw came up unintentionally, a proof I maybe connected to the real gold standard ...(?).
Suggest concentrate on leaving language behind, enter into cosmic nothingness & everythingness thru nonverbal, verbiage-free approach - such as the latest NDE research results have indicated. (And the Tibetan Book Of Dead much previously ..). The way to the Light is just a matter (or a Mater) of time. It ll take a path of its own. All answers may be much simpler than what we can deduct from within our fleshy fatigues ... All doctrines remain imperfect, all systems succumb. Causality makes way for itself by itself. Wolfgang Pauli was close. Just refrain from killing. Be humble, but be strong. Just wait & SEE 🇫🇮
This is excellent- thank you
Thanks, good work and more please!
I very much enjoyed the film of his life, well done thank you x
Touching ! Thank you !
Dear brother John, this is really mesmerizing and so inspiring for any seeker of deep & ancient truths. Thank you so much for having uploaded this gem which slow pace is itself soothing and rewarding for the soul. Also, it allows one to understand that the dance scenes in the movie ""Meetings With Remarkable Men" are based on reality. Thank you again & namaskar🙏🙏
Gratitude.
Kiaora for this gift ❤
Couldn't find a genuine master like Gurdjiff in the Present time. Can anyone help me to find such a great masters please.
It was said in "In Search of the Miraculous" that the most important aim for a man would be to become master of himself.
The teacher will appear.

No problem. Gurdjieffs decisive successor was famoius ZEN-master OSHO. So I recommend for you his famous "book of (wo) men" !
There is one, currently in Bali. Holistic consciousness school yet with limited devotees, - but soon search for some news, it may open the doors
Thank you.
This is an incrdible document, thanks so much for posting. Many of these pictures of the great master I have never seen, amazing. I encourage any young people to look into this work. I was focused for many years on it with great effect. It's worth the effort!!!
