Influence of Ouspensky and Gurdjieff

A woman asks about Ouspensky’s and Gurdjieff’s influence on Rupert’s development. Rupert explains that while Ouspensky particularly influenced his early studies, the teachings’ complexity often obscured their essential simplicity. Their ‘self-remembering’ technique corresponds to the direct awareness of being practiced in his current approach. Despite appreciating Ouspensky’s philosophical depth, Rupert eventually moved away from what seemed unnecessarily complex toward the clearer non-dual understanding he now shares.
