Mr. Gurdjieff Began His Mission to introduce and establish the teaching in the West in 1912. Thus the common belief has been that other teachings predated The Fourth Way, but actually it is just the reverse. The Fourth Way, he said, is "esoteric Christianity." He was not referring to contemporary Christianity but to a Christianity that existed in Egypt, "only not the Egypt we know but from one which we do not know. This Egypt was in the same place as the other but it existed much earlier." He said, "It will seem strange to many people when I say that this prehistoric Egypt was Christian many thousands of years before the birth of Christ, that is to say, that its religion was composed of the same principles and ideas that constitute true Christianity." So, in fact, The Fourth Way predates all known teachings. Because he had rediscovered this ancient, prehistoric teaching of self-transformation—until then unknown—Gurdjieff could declare that it was "unknown up to the present time."
