The 4th Way is a large part of the Cult of Cthulhu and part of the path of Self Empowerment leading to Awakening. There is a religious experience that is part of the human brain. Seizures in patients with temporal lobe seizures can result is feelings of being one with the universe and meeting a "god". Many religions have tried to describe this religious feeling. There's names such as feeling the holy spirit, enlightenment, or god head. Books on the topic are Varieties of religious Experience by William James, and The Divine Within by Aldous Huxley. The Cult of Cthulhu cuts right through these to the core of the teaching as recognized in Cthulhu Cult by Venger. And that is with The 4th Way by GI Gurdjieff and recorded by Ouspensky. Gurdjieff was a world traveler that went to different regions of the world to record what commonalities he found between different spiritual traditions in a path to "enlightenment", "the way", or "dharma". In doing so Gurdjieff created the 4th Way. It is the essential cored of all the awakening and ascension within the world religions, minus the myths of the right hand path. To learn more, this website has a text by PD Ouspensky that addresses the 4th way, and the method. Ouspensky transcribed speeches by Gurdjieff, which is why the style may seem weird. selfdefinition.org/gurdjieff/Ouspensky-The-Fourth-Way.pdf

In addition to that PDF that you linked, I have a folder with multiple other texts by Gurdjieff and Ouspensky that I will link below. drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xrcdV4he4yNplnkqVwznaOd_5DxBR5M_I believe I have the permissions set correctly, but if anyone encounters a problem with downloading them, simply let me know. There are two additional documents on the topic which the reader might also find interesting.
