G.I. Gurdjieff

These are the memoirs of the great mystic and teacher who inspired a generation of disciples and followers before, during and briefing after the Second World War. In Meetings With Remarkable Men Gurdjieff introduces us to some of the companions he encountered in his travels to the most remote regions of Central Asia. With colorful episodes from his adventures, he brings to life the story of his own relentless search for a real and universal knowledge. The book can be read as a colorful narrative or psychological autobiography, but the meaning of its contents can be better appreciated in relation to the expositions of his previously published ideas.

A landmark exploration of the human condition with the goal of bringing self-awareness in one's daily lifeWith Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson , G. I. Gurdjieff intended to "destroy, mercilessly . . . the beliefs and views about everything existing in the world." This novel beautifully brings to life the visions of humanity for which Gurdjieff has become esteemed. Beelzebub, a man of worldly (and other-worldly) wisdom, shares with his grandson the anecdotes, personal philosophies, and lessons learned from his own life.The reader is given a detailed discussion of all matters physical, natural, and spiritual, from the creation of the cosmos to man's teleological purpose in the universe. This edition of Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson --the first single-volume paperback to appear in English--restores the original, authoritative translation.

First published in 1975, this book has established itself as an authentic source for those interested in Gurdjieff's ideas and his approach to practical "work on oneself".

Are we able to say that life is governed by a group of conscious people? Where are they? Who are they? We see exactly the opposite: that life is governed by those who are the least conscious, by those who are most asleep.Provocative ideas such as these have attracted generations of thoughtful people to the methods of self-study and inner work devised by Gurdjieff, one of the most radical spiritual teachers of modern times. According to Gurdjieff, the wars raging at this very moment are nothing more than millions of sleeping people trying to annihilate millions of other sleeping people. Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as progress and evolution as long as humanity remains asleep. Two hundred conscious people could change the whole of life on the earth, Gurdjieff says. If we want to become those conscious people, we must learn how to change ourselves. With the help of self-knowledge and an understanding of our relation to the universe, we can awaken to a higher level of being—if we wish to change ourselves.All of Gurdjieff's fundamental principles and methods of transforming the intellect, emotions, and body, in the system known as the Fourth Way, are presented in this book in his own clear, precise words preserved by his closest pupils.Arranged in an orderly sequence of passages drawn from two primary sourcebooks —P. D. Ouspensky's In Search of the Miraculous, and Views from the Real World, recorded and arranged by Mme. Jeanne de Salzmann—this material is an indispensable introduction for those determined to undertake the efforts and practices necessary for awakening consciousness.All the basic concepts and methods are covered, including: • man is "asleep" • we have no unified "I" • the need for self-knowledge • functions of the human "machine" • states of consciousness • levels of being • three centers: moving, emotional, and thinking • personality and essence • the possibility of self-development • self-observation • remembering oneself • conscious evolution • the law of three forces • the ray of creation • the law of octaves • the Enneagram, a universal symbol • the variety of spiritual ways • esoteric Christianity • working in groups • the necessity of schools

My ballet is not a mystery. The purpose of it is to present an interesting and beautiful spectacle. Of course, under the visible forms a certain sense is hidden, but I did not aim at demonstrating or emphasizing it. The chief position in this ballet is occupied by certain dances. I will explain this to you briefly. Imagine that in studying the laws of movement of the celestial bodies, let us say the planets of the solar system, you have constructed a special mechanism for the representation and recording of these laws. In this mechanism every planet is represented by a sphere of appropriate size and is placed at a strictly determined distance from the central sphere, which stands for the sun. You set the mechanism in motion, and all the spheres begin to turn and move in definite paths, reproducing in a lifelike way the laws which govern their movements. This mechanism reminds you of your knowledge. In the same way, in the rhythm of certain dances, in the precise movements and combinations of the dancers, certain laws are vividly recalled. Such dances are called sacred. During my journeys in the East, I often saw dances of this kind executed during the performance of sacred rites in some of the ancient temples. These ceremonies are inaccessible, and unknown to Europeans. Some of these dances are reproduced in The Struggle of the Magicians. Further, I may tell you that at the basis of The Struggle of the Magicians lie three thoughts; but, as I have no hope that they will be understood by the public if I present the ballet alone, I call it simply a spectacle.

Beelzebub's Tales to His An Objectively Impartial Criticism of the Life of Man by G. I. Gurdjieff.

With the outbreak of the Second World War, Gurdjieff's American and English students were unable to return to Nazi occupied Paris, nevertheless, Gurdjieff continued to teach despite difficult and dangerous wartime conditions. In 1938, Jeanne de Salzmann introduced her French work group to him, and with this nucleus, Gurdjieff held regular meetings at his Paris flat throughout the occupation. In question and answer format, Gurdjieff answers his students' questions on practical work in daily life and gives specific advice, guidance, and exercises. Among those present in Gurdjieff's company at this time were René Daumal, Luc Dietrich, Jeanne de Salzmann, Tcheslaw Tchekhovich, Henri Tracol and René Zuber.

The teaching of G. I. Gurdjieff (1866-1949) has come to be recognized as one of the most original, enduring, and penetrating of our century. While Gurdjieff used many different means to transmit his vision of the human dilemma and human possibility, he gave special importance to his acknowledged masterwork, Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson. Beelzebub's Tales is an "ocean of story" and of ideas that one can explore for a lifetime. It is majestic in scale and content, challengingly inventive in prose style, and, for those very reasons, often approached with apprehension. The first English language edition of the Russian original appeared in 1950. Since then, readers have recognized the need for a revised translation that would clarify the verbal surface while respecting the author's own thought and style. This revised edition, in preparation for many years under the direction of Gurdjieff's closest pupil, Jeanne de Salzmann, meets this need. Originally published in 1992, this translation offers a new experience of Gurdjieff's masterpiece for contemporary readers. It is presented in a sturdy cloth edition that echoes its original publication.Librarian's note: This edition was published with ISBN 0-525-47350-5, which has also been used on another work.

È il 1941. In una Parigi devastata dalla guerra, G. I. Gurdjieff continua a insegnare nonostante i pericoli e le difficoltà del periodo. Col gruppo di lavoro che gli è stato presentato da Madame de Salzmann, il maestro armeno tiene regolari incontri nel suo appartamento, durante i quali risponde su questioni pratiche del Lavoro e dà consigli specifici, esercizi e direttive.

Guide and Index to Gurdjieff's All and Beezlebub's Tales To His Grandson [hardcover] Ivanovitch Gurdjieff, Georges [Jun 01, 1979]

Le nom de Gurdjieff est aujourd'hui reconnu comme celui d'un grand maître spirituel, tel qu'il en apparaît dans l'histoire de l'humanité, à des époques de transition. Voyant la direction que prenait la civilisation moderne, Gurdjieff s'était donné comme tâche d'éveiller ses contemporains à la nécessité d'un développement intérieur qui leur ferait prendre conscience du sens réel de leur présence sur terre. Les notes rassemblées dans cet ouvrage se rapportent à quelques-unes des réunions qui se tenaient chaque soir autour de Gurdjieff, quelles que soient les circonstances. Ces textes ne sont pas une transcription directe. En effet, Gurdjieff ne permettait pas à ses élèves de prendre des notes au cours des réunions. Quelques auditeurs prévoyants, doués d'une mémoire exceptionnelle, s'efforçaient ensuite de reconstituer ce qu'ils avaient entendu. Sans chercher à présenter une synthèse des idées développées par Gurdjieff - comme P. D. Ouspensky l'a tenté avec maîtrise dans Fragments d'un enseignement inconnu - ces notes, si incomplètes soient-elles, ont été reconnues par ceux qui avaient assisté aux réunions comme aussi fidèles que possible à la parole de leur maître. Ces comptes rendus sont précédés de trois autres textes de caractère différent. Lueurs de vérité, datant de 1914, est le récit que fait un élève russe de sa première rencontre avec Gurdjieff, près de Moscou, avant la Révolution. Les deux autres textes, datant respectivement de 1918 et de 1924, sont des conférences données par Gurdjieff.

After a lifetime spent in the teaching of a system of knowledge which he gave only to a small circle of pupils, George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff decided shortly before his death in October 1949 to publish the first of a series of his books which expresses his ideas in the form of a cosmological epic based upon the legend of 'Beelzebub' - whose banishment to our Solar System brings him inte contact with mankind whose strange customs and problems he describes with deep compassion and at times with superb humour. This 'all-wise Beelzebub', with profound understanding af the weakness af humanity, paints the way towards the regeneration of mankind through the development of the inner possibilities of man and presents a teaching ef exceptional value for the world. All and Everything is of speclal significance now, when the world is helplessly struggling to control the intensification of technical achievement which threatens to destroy the essential values and purposes of life. This book rediscovers the path whleh man was destined to follow in the universal scheme and from which he has so far gone astray.

George I. Gurdjieff, profondo conoscitore della tradizione orale propria delle regioni a sud del Caucaso dove si incrociano culture diverse e antichissime, dopo aver viaggiato a lungo in Europa, Africa, Medio Oriente, Asia Centrale per raccogliere i frammenti sparsi delle antiche tradizioni di saggezza, si dedicò a ricostruire la conoscenza della verità e a trasmetterla agli occidentali attraverso l'insegnamento. Questo libro raccoglie una serie di testimonianze di quegli incontri così frequenti che Gurdjieff aveva coi suoi allievi.

Quelli di rue de Colonels-Renard sono stati gli ultimi allievi di G. I. Gurdjieff, che l'hanno seguito fino a poco prima della morte. Dopo il successo del primo volume, che raccoglieva i discorsi tenuti fino al 1943, fa seguito questa seconda parte che illumina ulteriormente l'interno degli ambienti in cui avvenivano questi incontri straordinari, e rende un po' meno sconosciuto l'insegnamento del mistico armeno.

エニアグラムの起源と歴史についてはさまざまな「伝説」が流布されているが、史実として確認されているのは、20世紀最大の神秘思想家とも言われるＧ・Ｉ・グルジェフが1910年代のロシアではじめてそれを教えたということだけであり、これはそのときの講義の内容の信頼できる記録である。 「幾何学的象徴に関する講話」（Lecture on Symbolism）とも呼ばれるこの講義録は、ウスペンスキー『奇跡を求めて』の十四章「エニアグラム」の情報源として使われた。ウスペンスキーによる記録がもっぱら理論的な記述に終始しているのに対し、この講義録は「そこに込められた意図、言葉の背後に隠された何か、内的に宿された意味」をめぐる示唆的な言及に満ちている。 エニアグラムの構造をめぐる理論的な説明に関しても、ウスペンスキーがその著書において言及しつつも深く掘り下げることをしなかったテーマとして、「三と四の関係」もしくは「三から四が生じるプロセス」が言及され、これは「三の法則」と「七の法則」がどのように結び付くのかに関する決定的な鍵を提供する。講義の内容に加えて、そのときに使われた図を収録している。 西欧での活動の初期において、グルジェフはこの講義の

During the mid-thirties in Paris, Gurdjieff drew together four Solita Solano, Kathryn Hulme, Alice Rohrer, and Elizabeth Gordon—and formed a special, mutually supporting work group. In allegory he You are going on a journey under my guidance, an “inner-world journey” like a high mountain climb where you must be roped together for safety, where each must think of the others on the rope, all for one and one for all. You must, in short, help each other “as hand washes hand,” each contributing to the company according to her lights, according to her means. Only faithful hard work on yourselves will get you where I want you to go, not your wishing. Among themselves they called their foursome “The Rope.” The company around Gurdjieff’s table, his principal teaching site, soon expanded to include Louise Davidson, Margaret Anderson, Georgette Leblanc, and Jane Heap.

Seeking a way to self-knowledge and a means of awakening to consciousness, people from many walks of life gathered in small groups around George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff in his Paris apartment from December 1941 until his death in October 1949. Notes taken during those meetings by pupils assigned by Gurdjieff himself have been preserved in the archives of the Gurdjieff Institute in Paris. This book presents a fresh translation of the original French notes of the meetings recorded in 1943.Through these notes a vivid portrait of Gurdjieff emerges. We gain new insight into his ways of working with his pupils as he responded to them according to their individual needs – with humour, patience, specific tasks, encouragement and above all immense knowledge and compassion. Those familiar with Gurdjieff’s writings will find his ideas enlivened here in the practicality of his oral teaching.Although various commentators have related their experiences of working with Gurdjieff, this book is not commentary. It chronicles directly the relationship between a master and his pupils, closely following the extraordinary exchanges that took place among them, illuminating the teaching and demonstrating its practice. It will take a unique place in the Gurdjieff canon.
