| "If we contemporary men desire at the present time to do something beneficent for men of future times, all we must do is just to add to this already existing means of transmission some new means or other, ensuing from the ways of our contemporary life on the Earth as well as from the many-centuried experience of former generations, in accordance with the information that has come down to us."

| This website has been designed to convey the
teachings of Mr. Gurdjieff and Mr. Beidler to a greater public audience than
possible in the past. However, reading is not doing; while many people do
work on themselves in isolation, most students find they make greater
efforts when working and sharing within a group of like-minded people. Gurdjieff groups are not evenly spread across the globe, and many find they are remote from a center they can attend. With this in mind, I have begun a global Online Work Group that people can participate in through the internet. Registration is required to participate in the Group. The format consists of a weekly Work Program that has been constructed by Triads of online Seekers conversant in the ideas of Gurdjieff / Beidler as presented on the Endless Search web site. Feedback and discussion within the Group is maintained through our private online discussion forums. Members can participate at the level they are comfortable with, but lurking is actively discouraged. It is hoped and expected that all participants in this venture will eventually, after an appropriate probationary period, become members of an online Triad and contribute to the weekly Work Program. You may view some sample Work Programs. All this requires much administration on my part, and server costs for the forums and website also need to be met. For this reason, membership cannot be given free. Therefore we are offering a 2 month Trial Membership, after which we ask for an Annual Membership Fee of £30, or €45 or $55(US) from each member to help meet these overheads. If you are interested in participating in the Online Work Group and Discussion Forum, you may submit a Registration Request by email after reading the Membership Agreement. |
