(Should one get this far in the blog, The Fourth Way, one can obtain the full book of this work minus the fourth way quotes within the '24 free books' of this site listed as 'panentheism addressing the journey of a soul' under the first classification titled 'Generically Oriented'.)
Preparation: Conquering the physical machine
Part II
The problem facing the initiate attempting to enter region 4 is three fold:
1. The initiate does not know where region 4 is, so the question becomes: Where do I go to find region 4? If there are no directions why even try to locate the island of region 4?
2. The initiate does not know what to expect if they manage to step into region 4 and as such the thought becomes: Why even spend all the time and effort to step into region 4 because if one does finally step into region 4, there may be nothing worthwhile to acquire after having expended vast amounts of energy.
3. The initiate can find no one who will admit having been to level 4 let alone find someone who is willing to help them on the journey other than to say: It takes time. Just quiet yourself and it (?) will come …
The point of this blog/book is to remove these three obstacles. Removing the three obstacles has the potential of drawing more initiates into the process, encouraging the participants already on the journey and increasing the success ratio of those making the journey.
If this primer is successful it will be because it has partially resolved the three issues listed above.
So now let’s address issue one and two: Where is region/level 4 and what one can potentially find in region 4.
In Part II of this blog/book we will expand our knowledge and understanding of region/level 4 and what hidden treasures are opened to those who acquire level 4.
In Part III of this blog/book we will examine what lies beyond Gurdjieff’s teachings, examine what may well be the next evolutionary stage of development which can be built upon the foundation of The Fourth Way.
In Part I we diagramed regions 1, 2 and 3 as three dimensional regions connected by bridges. We will now go back to two dimensional diagrams in order to conserve space.
