William Patrick Patterson, a leading exponent and teacher of The Fourth Way, was the founder and editor of The Gurdjieff Journal from its inception in 1992 for over 30 years. Having started in print, then PDF, with the 100th issue The Gurdjieff Journal launched online bringing Mr. Gurdjieff’s sacred teaching of The Fourth Way and Mr. Patterson’s offerings to many more seekers.
The Gurdjieff Journal is the first and now only journal, international-domestic, devoted exclusively to G. I. Gurdjieff’s teaching. Published triannually and free of advertising, the intention is to work to observe and report upon the contemporary world “mercilessly, without any compromise whatsoever.” Through original research, timely feature articles, essays, interviews, and book & film reviews, the principles, perspectives and practices of the teaching are explored and applied to daily life in order to coming to real life.
