Selim Aïssel has integrated the study of modern psychology and diverse spiritual currents (including Zen and Sufism) into the practical work of Gurdjieff's Fourth Way. His Spiritual Psychology is the fruit of twenty years of work, based on concrete practice. While at the same time offering reasoned analyses of psychological, pedagogical, religious, and spiritual theories, his teaching focuses on practical application, since it is through practical application that men and women truly evolve. He has thus developed a psychology of becoming that is at the same time a genuine path of self-realisation. This path is not considered uniquely from an individual standpoint, but also includes the individual's integration into humanity and into a further, universal dimension. Selim Aïssel believes in the profound unity that is hidden behind appearances, people, and ideas, and he indicates the path toward this unity, which necessarily begins with the acquisition of Freedom, and culminates in Love.
Selim Aïssel is the author of over 50 books (currently available in French and, partially, in German) on spirituality and its application in our daily lives.
