Has anyone here read or studied Gurdjieff? People who have met him, have called him a master [or awakened]. (I don't like the word enlightened. What is the definition of enlightened? I think it is more of a spectrum than a single event. People who call it an event only reached the first stop of connecting to the Akashic records/Gaia/the collective unconscious.)
There is one criticism targeted at Gurdjieff. None of his students ever reached his level.
