The Man Who Claimed We're All Asleep
Imagine meeting someone whose piercing gaze seems to see right through you-a man who can transmit healing energy with a touch, who insists that despite your certainty of being awake, you're actually sleepwalking through life. This was Georges Ivanovich Gurdjieff, one of the 20th century's most enigmatic spiritual teachers. Though relatively unknown to the general public, his influence spans architecture, music, literature, and film-touching figures from Frank Lloyd Wright to Aldous Huxley. Gurdjieff's fundamental question haunts us still: Are we truly conscious, or merely dreaming that we are? What made Gurdjieff different from other spiritual teachers was his insistence that human potential remains largely untapped. While ordinary psychology studies humans as they exist, Gurdjieff focused on "man's possible evolution." Like William James observed, most people "live far within their limits," using only a fraction of their capabilities-not because of inherent limitations, but because of mechanized laziness that becomes habitual.
