From an ancient Chinese text, quoted in: About the Author: Anthony Craig is a Melbourne-based writer with an insatiable curiosity for mysteries. His many interests include ancient astronomy, mythology, philosophy, religion and esoteri- cism in general, and science. He prefers explanations that do not abandon common sense and the laws of physics, yet retain a sense of the miraculous. In 1984, Anthony joined an international Fourth Way school, based on the esoteric sys- tem of G. |. Gurdjieff and P. D. Ouspensky, eventually becoming director of the school's centres in Sydney and Melbourne until leaving in 1994. He has recently set up a website that explores Fourth Way alternative cosmology, speculative physics and esoteric psychology and includes much more information on Body Types (see www.homestead.com/axissophia/ index.html).
