Peter D. Ouspensky (1878 - 1947) was a Russian mathematician and esotericist. His first book, The Fourth Dimension, published in 1909, at once placed him in the ranks of important writers on abstract mathematical theory. It was followed by Tertium Organum in 1912, and by an extensive journey through England, France, Italy, Egypt, India, and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), undertaken, as Ouspensky put it, "to seek the miraculous". A New Model of the Universe followed and revealed his stature as a thinker and his deep preoccupation with the problems of man's existence. Ouspensky's meeting with G. I. Gurdjieff in Moscow in 1915, on his return from his travels, marked a turning point in his life. From that time on, his interest was centered on the practical study of methods for the development of consciousness in man. G. I. Gurdjieff, was an influential spiritual teacher who taught that most humans 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. Ouspensky spent the rest of his life writing and lecturing about Gurdjieff's ideas. The Fourth Way is the most comprehensive statement published of the ideas taught by Ouspensky. Consisting of verbatim records of his oral teaching from 1921 to 1946, it gives a lucid explanation of the practical side of G. I. Gurdjieff's teachings, which Gurdjieff presented in the form of raw materials, Ouspensky's specific task having been to put them together as a systematic whole. As Tertium Organum deals with a new mode of thinking, so The Fourth Way is concerned with a new way of living. It shows a way of inner development to be followed under the ordinary conditions of life - as distinct from the three traditional ways that call for retirement from the world: those of the fakir, the monk, and the yogi. The Fourth Way is a guide for those who seek a true way of inner growth under conditions open to everyone today.
