This book has been included as a related work in the Spiritual Philosophy category because of its clear exposition of G. I. Gurdjieff’s famous teachings, in particular ‘The Work’, which has inspired generations of writers and intellectuals.
The famed spiritualist and mystic G. I. Gurdjieff is best remembered for his development of the Fourth Way – a method for helping one to ‘wake up’ to a higher state of consciousness. This compilation of notes by Gurdjieff’s chosen successor offers further insights into ‘The Work’ required to awaken to the true state of reality. Although the path to experiencing full Presence is difficult, de Salzmann offers an account of someone who has succeeded in walking it – and so may serve as an inspiration for spiritual seekers.
