G'Day Tanausu,
I have heard of Gurdjieff's fourth way and have a good friend who practices it as his "work". I read a little about it, I didn't understand a great deal but it was fascinating. I agree that the fully subjective reality would be akin to a dream world. The way I see it ideas like subjective reality and 'Law' of Attraction rely on Laws, or unassailable ways of operation. A law is consistent and observable, or it isn't a law. So I see all of this as subjective worlds built upon objective worlds, don't know what it is yet...

From what I know of Gurdjieff's work he was pretty on the money, tough character too. Not sure if this is accurate, his 'general law' can be described as; if you do what everyone else does you'll end up just like them (so overcome your inertia and do the work, I think). That's why I like spirituality and personal development, some tell you the way, others carve the path.

Love to hear your description of the system, been a while since I read about it.
