The Federation for the Independent Study of the Harmonious Development of Man is an organization founded by a student of the Gurdjieff tradition who has been studying for 28 years. It is authorized by and supported by his teacher, one of the last living students of G.I. Gurdjieff. Its mission is to provide resources and a forum for those independent students and groups of G.I. Gurdjieff who wish to pursue their search in their own specific or unusual way. The Federation encourages all individuals experienced with the work to found their own groups, teaching their own special skill, with the aim of spreading the understanding gathered by Mr. Gurdjieff and his many students into a world in desperate need of such help.

Addendum July 23 2009: It has been a number of years since this group has been exercised, and since my teacher, George Cornelius died. My apologies for this absence. May aim is to continue with the above mission, with the addition of focusing on maintaining the law, language, religion and science of our current civilization while deepening its understandings through our own research. I hope that we can be experimental, using the scientific and clinical methods to arrive at our conclusions. Let us be brave enough to challenge everything we know.
