What do you think about Asaf Braverman web on Fourth Way?

[Deleted member 11729]

Just found this web and FB page created by Asaf Braverman, that is aiming to help in the Fourth Way teachings.

_http://ggurdjieff.com/

"This site was born out of a necessity to share unique insights into the Fourth Way. Readership grew, and with it the need for translation into more languages. Involvement grew, and with it the need for interaction, which gave birth to our Facebook page. Participation grew, and with it the need for structure, which gave birth to the “Be.” Pyramid."

Before I went into the more deep exploration of it, just wanted to ask if anyone of you have see it, and what is your opinion? Was trying to search authors name in the Forum, but no results.

thank you!

Hi solarmind,

Did some digging and found out that Asaf Braverman has been a pupil of Robert Earl Burton who founded the Fellowship of Friends in 1970 and published a book entitled Self-Remembering in 1995.

Searching the forum for Robert Burton, I found a post about him and his Fellowship in the thread Imitation Fourth Way Groups Started by Gurdjieff Rejects, namely this one (Reply #117): http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,215.msg95174.html#msg95174 with elaborate information and links.

A reading advice, if I may: You should start reading the there referenced post of Laura (Reply #75) first for more context and background before continuing with Reply #117; better still read the whole topic after digesting the two mentioned replies to start off with.

First overall impression: very probably not genuine 4th Way.

Hope this helps you out. :)

EDITED to add: got an afterthought - the following topic treats a similar problem as yours: A Question for the Cs (and the rest of the forum) and might be useful to strengthen discernment.

Dear Palinurus,

Thank you very much for your note. This is very very helpful. I am glad I asked before browsed more through their web. It is scary how good ideas can easily be abused for completely opposite harvest.

Thank you one more time!
