Welcome!

to views from Anatolia!

 

This web-site serves two purposes:

  1. THE RESEARCH hosts the results of my research on Gurdjieffians conducted in 2021, in the form of an MA dissertation, and provides a list of academic studies on the Work.

  2. SPEAK UP provides an account of my power-abuse my accusations against Sophia Centre, UWTSD and OIA, e.g. three players from Higher Education in the UK, about a case spanning to 2018-2023. An account that made me, again and again, recall the passage below, from Gurdjieff's magnum opus.

​

On Beginnings of Deterioration of Organic-Self-Shame:

“Here it is very interesting to notice that although, as I have already told you, thanks to the inheritance from the ancient Romans, ‘organic-self-shame’—proper to the three-brained beings—has gradually and entirely disappeared from the presences of your favorites, nevertheless there has arisen in them in its place something rather like it. In the presences of your contemporary favorites there is as much as you like of this pseudo being-impulse which they also call ‘shame,’ but the data for engendering it, just as of all others, are quite singular.

​

This being-impulse arises in their presences only when they do something which under their abnormally established conditions of ordinary being-existence is not acceptable to be done before others.

​

But if nobody sees what they do, then nothing they do—even if in their own consciousness and their own feelings it should be undesirable—engenders any such impulse in them."

G.I.Gurdjieff
(1866?-1949)

He who . . . 

in his own words

He who in childhood was called "Tatakh"; in early youth "Darky"; later the "Black Greek"; in middle age, the "Tiger of Turkestan"; and now, not just anybody, but the genuine "Monsieur" or "Mister" Gurdjieff, or the nephew of "Prince Mukransky," or finally, simply a "Teacher of Dancing."
