The Gurdjieff Society of Massachusetts

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'.

G. I. Gurdjieff
