During earlier experiences (before any of the more obvious gang stalking events happened, but things were getting weird), I remember thinking that maybe I was experiencing what it feels like to grow dimensionally.

I pictured a 2-dimensional creature within a 3-dimensional pond and how someone (a 3D being) just walking into the pond could have all kinds of mysterious effects to the 2D beings. The 3D being’s legs would appear as two separate bodies to the 2D creatures, just as the influences of a higher-dimensional being could appear to cause separate, yet somehow connected, events to the perspective of a 2D being. As things continued to get weirder and more sinister as well, I spent a few years getting a bit caught up in trying to sort the pieces of everything I’d experienced.

After I had some time to digest all the very different experiences that had been happening, I realized that those first impressions of growth and changing perspectives were not off the mark. Pretty much everything that’s a part of covert harassment (whether it’s physical or multi-dimensional attack) can fit into the category: experiences that expand perspective and become knowledge that we apply to learn about ourselves and the environment.

Esoteric science deals with exactly that, growing dimensionally; how to move from one major phase of development to the next. There are several esoteric resources that have related information. It seems like if you start looking into one, you usually start to find other sources of similar truth as well.

My intent in this series is to share a sampling of some esoteric teachings and how these have fit into my understanding of covert oppression, in the event that it may help others (you) by adding additional perspective to compare with your own. As always, appropriate what is useful and don’t worry about the rest. As I encounter new resources I try to post any connecting or views of my own -do check out the resources the excerpts and images come from to continue your exploration of the concepts that resonate with you. There are many connected and relevant perspectives on every topic. And I do not intend to cover every salient point of the books mentioned, so don’t miss out, find them at the library or online (there are links here) and read the sources yourself. This is an opportunity for me to explore some esoteric philosophy and how my own experiences and knowledge compare and contrast; if you learn something from it too, that’s great

The Fourth Way

I’ve chosen to start this series with some explorations of a branch of esoteric philosophy often called the Fourth Way. A man named G.I. Gurdjieff is credited with collecting and introducing to modern society many esoteric teachings that predate Christianity -and had been preserved throughout early Christianity, and then been progressively eroded and obfuscated. Many people are familiar with there being different versions and translations of the Christian Bible. Using this example, the esoteric teachings preserved in early Gnosticism are the real deal, truths passed along from those who have learned how to evolve beyond fractured identity and suffering, from a time before such messages were adulterated.

Gurdjieff traveled to Egypt and various parts of Asia to study and learn more about the esoteric traditions, before gaining his own followers and students. He would never reveal the specific sources of his system (the Fourth Way), but the roots of which are believed by many to include Sufism, Esoteric Christianity and even Buddhism.

Ousenpsky was one of Gurdjieff’s students, though had some very different interpretations and disagreement with Gurdjieff on specific points. Though Gurdjieff wrote some books, the main body of his teachings was in the format of lectures and interactive discussions. Much of what Gurdjieff said that has become well known are the talks that Ouspensky recorded from memory in his books. Ouspensky provided his own unique offerings to esoteric philosophy, and had students as well, such as Aldous Huxley.

And then came Boris Mouravieff, who went a step further in organizing previous esoteric truths into greater order.  He was then able to make more logical observations and hypotheses, thus bringing a depth of clarity to esoteric philosophy than was previously known.

A good place to start is Mouravieff’s Gnosis series. The back of Gnosis Book One says, “…This Gnosis is not a modern statement of the second century texts known as ‘Gnoticism’, but a previously unpublished ancient Christian Knowledge tradition.”

I think the first few paragraphs of the introduction speak volumes about the goal of esoteric philosophy,

Homo Sapiens lives immersed in his everyday life to a point where he forgets himself and forgets where he is going; yet, without feeling it, he knows that death cuts off everything.

How can we explain that the intellectual who has made marvellous discoveries and the technocrat who has exploited them have left outside the field of their investigations, the ending of our lives? How can we explain that a science which attempts everything and claims everything nevertheless remains indifferent to the enigma reveled by the question of death? How can we explain why Science, instead of uniting its efforts with its older sister Religion to resolve the problem of Being –which is also the problem is death– has in fact opposed her?

Whether a man dies in bed or aboard and interplanetary ship, the human condition has not changed in the slightest.

Happiness? But we are taught that happiness lasts only as long as the Illusion lasts… and what is this Illusion? Nobody knows. But it submerges us.

If we only knew what Illusion is, we would then know the opposite: what Truth is. This Truth would liberate us from slavery.
