"John G. Bennett (1897-1974) was a British mathematician, scientist and philosopher who studied the ideas of G.I.Gurdjieff from the 1920's until Gurdjieff's death in 1949. Bennett then taught the ideas of Gurdjieff, known as the Fourth Way, along with modifying and refining those ideas.
In 1971 Bennett established the IACE Sherborne, which offered a 10 month instruction/introduction in the Fourth Way. Fripp recently said "When I found Bennett, the top of my head blew off (July 1974)" (DGM diary; December 18, 1998). Fripp broke up King Crimson when he entered Sherborne in 1974, and Fripp's later pursuit of "small, mobile and intelligent units" is traceable to Bennett. Fripp remains involved in the promotion and dissemination of John Bennett's ideas, and continues to work with people that he met a Sherborne in the 1970's."

"The commercial aspect of my activities must be governed by the same principles as the musical one. My management is the small, portable, intelligent unit fighting the dinosaur. They give total freedom to the musicians with whom they work. Obviously, Eno, Ferry, Manzanera or Fripp have no need for a musical director. "
" However, I never let King Crimson fall into the success trap. Several times we went very close to having a gigantic commercial success. I have always instinctively tried to avoid this success. Brian Eno is doing the same thing as I do. The worst thing that can happen to a creative artist is obviously to know the success he is hoping for. Of course one needs success, but it has to be limited to financial independence."
