QUESTION: Have you heard of “The 4th Way”?
STORY: It was 1970 when I attended an evening talk at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel in San Francisco. I was looking for a Gurdjieff Teacher. Thane Walker stood before an audience of about 40 people. He told jokes and everyone was laughing. I wasn’t impressed and left the room at the end of the meeting. I wanted something serious! While waiting for the elevator, Thane came to me and we got in the elevator - just the two of us. He convinced me that his Cosmic Intention Therapy class would be a serious 4th Way class. I attended the class - and at the end of the class I went up and hugged him. I felt that I had found my Gurdjieff Teacher and School - The Prosperos School of Ontology. Five years later I became a High Watch member and in 1978 I became a High Watch Mentor. I have taught Prosperos classes and will continue to teach. I think everyone needs practical guidance in how to use our ordinary life experiences as tools to WAKE UP to our True Identity as Consciousness.
