Vibrational Review: Gurjieff (G. I. Gurdjieff 1866-1949) I have read full original writings of Gurjieff, though I have read a book about him, with lots of quotes, by Colin Wilson. I also knew one person, for a while, who was a disciple of Gurjieff, and he was quite messed up… But it would be a mistake to judge a teacher by their students..
