When I first read volume one I found it good enough and interesting to order v. 2& 3.Then I came across a passage which seemed to say if you're gay forget this path. Great confusion replaced my interest, and I put the book down for a while.Then I discovered a book by Patterson called Taking With The Left Hand. In it he discussed Mouravieff as a bit of an imposter. He did not actually study with Gurdjieff and may have actually plagiarized Ouspensky. His addition of courtly love was an attempt to create a 5th way which Gurdjieff did not teach, and his use of the phrase 'eastern orthodox tradition' may be based on a misunderstanding of something Gurdjieff did say, indicating a form of Christianity older than Egypt, not the Eastern Orthodox brand.So before buying this, research Mouravieff and maybe read Patterson. Being gay, I cannot get past that certain paragraph and so may never read v. 2 or 3.
