The
Gurdjieff Society of Massachusetts is an affiliate of the Gurdjieff
Foundation of New York.
The Society is nonsectarian and nondenominational,
and its membership is
composed of individuals from a wide variety of personal, ethnic, and
professional backgrounds. The aims
of the Society are
to
preserve the ideas and methods of the noted spiritual teacher George
Ivanovich Gurdjieff,
to
explore what their practice requires in today's world,
to
maintain a community of seekers that welcomes new members who share
these interests, and
to
contribute to society's understanding of the human condition, both the
great promise and the great peril.

The
evolution of man is the evolution of
his consciousness. And
'consciousness' cannot evolve unconsciously. The evolution of man is the evolution of his
will, and 'will' cannot evolve involuntarily. The evolution of man is the evolution of
his power of doing, and 'doing' cannot be the result of things which 'happen'.
