Author:G. Gurdjieff
This is one of the few records published by Gurdjieff in which he offers guidance to his 'community of seekers', the pupils from many countries who joined him in Paris and New York.
The first section is mainly autobiographical, relating material crucial to an understanding of the nature and intensity of personal effort required for an all-inclusive work on oneself. This is followed by a series of talks which Gurdjieff gave to his pupils in New York in 1930, and then by a long, but incomplete, essay on 'The Outer and Inner World of Man'.
This book is a blessing on my bookshelf and a blessing on my heart
—— Marianne Williamson, author of A RETURN TO LOVEWritten with grace and love, you'll not only want to read this book again and again, you'll want to share it with those who matter most
—— Cheryl Richardson, author of TAKE TIME FOR YOUR LIFEThis book is an absorbing and inspiring read...There is much compassion, humour and love in this unique volume, with experiences so vividly and colourfully recounted that I felt as though I was actually there with Jane as she journeyed...This is probably the most inspiring read I have yet encountered on this subject. Highly recommended
—— PentacleNo drama, no sensationalising, just a highly readable account of the author's work with spirits, plus absorbing accounts from the experiences of her students and clients. This gives a unique and informative 'fly on the wall' insight into 'how', 'where' and 'why' shamanism operates...Reading this book, I felt the warmth and expansion of perception found in workshops and sharing circles, where everyone is contributing from their experience, and sharing from the heart.
