From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William Patrick Paterson is a teacher of The Fourth Way ideas who was a long-time student of Lord Pentland.^[1] Patterson is the founder/director of The Gurdjieff Studies Program. For many years he has led groups, as well as given seminars and talks that bring a new approach to Gurdjieff's system, which he makes available though his webpage^[2]. He is the founder/editor of The Gurdjieff Journal (est. 1992), the first domestic and international Fourth Way journal. He has written six books on The Fourth Way. Patterson's histories, especially his chronologizing in Struggle of the Magicians or his transcripts of Gurdjieff in Voices in the Dark and Ladies of the Rope, are now a standard source for many of those referencing Gurdjieff.
