Dear Friend, Girard Haven

Dear Friend, Letters based on teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff and P.D. Ouspensky, Girard Haven 

The letters in this volume were written by Girard Haven to friends seeking guidance in their efforts to awaken through the Fourth Way. As one reads them, one is struck by their warmth and candor, their clear-eyed lessons, their eagerness to help.

The Fourth Way takes place in the ordinary circumstances of life. Based on the teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff and P.D. Ouspensky, it offers the contemporary 'Western' person a practical way to break free of the prison of thoughts, feelings, and impulses -as well as the illusions with which modern life has programmed him - and penetrate higher worlds. Because the arena for this work is everyday life, the struggles that arise for the Fourth Way student are grounded in the issues that most people face: relationships, children, careers, money.

Letters are a way to spend an hour or so with a friend-to express one's affection, to respond to a question or concern, to explore a new line of thought. In these letters, with painstaking simplicity, Girard Haven outlines the pathway that leads to the miraculous. In their clarity, their humor, and their uncompromising intelligence, they are proof not only that the art of letter writing, even in today's bustling age, is alive and well, but also that the heartfelt letter can have the power to change one's life.
