Thank you. Of course. That is my point - the character - highly dubious - of Gurdieff - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._I._Gurdjieff - can be ignored in light of the practical application of enneagrammatic insights to decoding otherwise incompreensible human interactions.


Although I have run across various aspects of Gurdjieff the general impression I have of him is not terribly different in intent with the idiocy of Scientology although they both seem to attract lots of gullible people. A reasonable look in at him is at http://www.skepdic.com/gurdjief.html
