I really try to avoid adding my interpretations or someone else's to Gurdjieff's articles. Since In Beelzebub's Tales Gurdjieff wrote that humans have three brains, that's how I put it.

It's too long and complicated to add the hydrogen numbers and the many center theories so I simply never do it. (Besides this would be only useful for more serious Gurdjieff's students - who I assume wouldn't come to wikipedia for this kind of info, but would rather read books). I try to make these articles understandable to those who never heard of Gurdjieff's teachings.

PS In the future leave the question on the other users page, as it was lucky that I saw your question. Aeuio 16:12, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure where you are getting at. I do intend to keep the page strictly according to Gurdjieff (this is also according to the "Fourth Way" - since Gurdjieff introduced the Fourth Way himself). What other people interpreted/published regarding the Fourth Way teaching can't be inserted into the article claiming that that was exactly what Gurdjieff taught/meant. This info can added to the "person who wrote it"'s file. This goes for the many schools calling themselves Fourth Way. An example of this would be that Fellowship of Friends school's article which you edit(ed) or any other Fourth Way school. On the FOF page you can write all of their Fourth Way interpretations/teachings/methods, but you can't add those methods to the Fourth Way article unless they were part of Gurdjieff's original teachings.
And this is very necessary because as Gurdjieff said it himself: Once the teacher dies, the followers of the teaching split themselves into different groups and sects, each introducing into the teaching their own doctrines, and the teaching is inevitably destroyed.
