Title: Christianity Before Christ
Review: Gurdjieff in EgyptI don't know why Gurdjieff didn't say more about the origins of the teaching, but given all the inconsistent stories about its origin, I was fascinated to watch this documentary video, Gurdjieff in Egypt. William Patrick Patterson put together the pieces Gurdjieff did leave behind to reach a startling conclusion: What Gurdjieff brought to the West in the early part of the twentieth century was ancient, esoteric Christianity reformulated for the times, "Christianity before Christ." Egypt has always interested me and this video opened a completely new window on its art and architecture. What I also appreciate about this film, as well as the others in this trilogy, is that they are also teaching documents, introducing and explaining some of the practices of the Fourth Way. This weaving of the historical and the practical makes it a video worth watching again and again.
