Thank you for visiting The Theater Of I Am. These writings are offered with the intention of being of service to those who grace us with their presence. Hopefully you will find something of value here. Please be welcome. We are reminded that certain of the presentations of The Theater Of I Am are reminiscent of the ideologies expressed by Mr. G.I. Gurdjieff. If this is indeed true, then we are at once both honored and grateful. However, from the onset, in this statement of purpose, The Theater Of I Am wishes to unequivocably declare that The Theate Of I Am is not a Gurdjieff School, not associated with the Gurdjieff Foundation, authorized Gurdjieff groups, or any Institutions. We are not Gurdjieff teachers nor do we wish to be considered as such. Yes, we have drunk deeply at the well of wisdom offered by Mr. Gurdjieff and have tasted of the fruits of knowledge presented at his table. Gratitude to this Being will be eternal. At the same time we are also indebted to other thinkers of consequence. These include Hazrat Inayat Khan, Thomas Merton, Carlos Castaneda, Herman Melville, Plotinus, Sigmund Freud, C.G. Jung, Jose Maria Vargas Vila, E.M. Cioran and Max Stirner. The list of those whom we consider our teachers is indeed a very long one.
Thank you, G.J.B.
