"Mathematik is useless. You cannot learn laws of World Creation
and World Existence by Mathematik. You must only look for Being. When you have Being you
will know all these things, without the need of Mathematik."
(Gurdjieff, as quoted in Witness by J.G. Bennett)
Take the understanding of the East and the knowledge of the West and
then seek. (Gurdjieff)
Some of Gurdjieff's teachings anticipated some of the current scientific theories in physics and psychology.
