Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GURDJIEFF GROUP WORK with Rita Romilly Benson - Softcover, 260Pages $19.95 + shipping An exposition of the ways in which this direct student of G. I. Gurdjieff passed on his teachings and applied his methods in the1960's and 70's. Mrs. Benson was a student of G. I. Gurdjieff and his Fourth Way teachings and a group leader at the New York Foundation for over 50 years. This book was compiled and edited by one of her students for 21 years until her death in 1980. It contains transcripts of meetings of her Gurdjieff groups, her Tradition studies group and her Bunraku puppet groups (also with pictures) plus scores of poignant quotes and comments from her students and members of groups for which she was responsible plus a mini-biography of her career on Broadway and in the theatre with pictures and some critical reviews. This book is for those interested in the ideas and teachings of G. I. Gurdjieff, M. and Mme. Ouspensky, Mme. Jeanne de Salzmann, Orage, Nicoll, Pentland, Segal, Welch, Fremantle, Bennett, Nyland, Walker, Wolfe, and many more of his students. Mrs. Benson also was instrumental in the presentation of Mr. Gurdjieff's then unpublished books and lectures and was known as "The Reader" for her presentations at many venues from 1928 through the end of the 1940's. Originally a student of Alfred Orage she was also close to C. Daly King, his biographer, Jean Toomer, and both Mme. de Salzmann and Mme. Olga de Hartmann as well as Henri Tracol. She was tireless in her efforts to pass on the principles, tasks, and ideas of the work experience to her pupils and all who came in contact with her. In addition, she always said her husband Martin Benson was 'one of her secret weapons.' When David Appelbaum, publisher of 'Martin Benson Speaks' saw an early draft of the material, he said: "You have a manuscript of historical significance. It records the thoughts and work of a figure of a certain era of the New York work in great detail. It shows how the work appeared at that stage of its unfolding, and through the exchanges how it affected students like yourself... No doubt you and others have put considerable labor into bringing the notes to this point. That work should not be lost."

Download or read book GURDJIEFF GROUP WORK THE LOFT TAPES written by Jerry Brewster and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-02-19 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a record of one and a half years of workdays at the GroupÕs Loft workspace in lower Manhattan during the late 1980Õs and early 1990Õs. It is documentation of the way Jerry worked with his groups during that time. Every generation must find a new way of working. What woke up one generation will not necessarily wake up the next. When we came to the work these ideas were new and fresh - now the ideas are taught in psychology classes in universities. But there is a process to waking up and rules that govern it. Gurdjieff says ""Many alarm clocks are necessary and always new ones."" This book is a testament to the practice of these rules. The fourth way requires working together, working on yourself, and making the ideas your own.

Download or read book Thinking Simply About Addiction written by Richard Sandor and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2009-03-05 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A profound yet practical guide to understanding addiction and recovery from an authority on the subject. No social problem today causes greater confusion than addiction. Whatever form it takes — alcohol, heroin, cocaine, nicotine, etc. — it tears apart homes and relationships, destroys careers and futures, and leaves loved ones asking: Why couldn't he stop once and for all? Or "get better"? Or control himself? Despite everything that's been said and written, many people remain deeply confounded about these problems. The addiction-treatment field itself is in a state of civil war because there is no consensus on what addiction is, much less what to do about it. Based on years of hard-won experience by a preeminent specialist in addictive behavior, Thinking Simply About Addiction explains the core truth of addiction: It is not a neurosis, a physical malady, a behavioral choice, or, in the narrowest sense, a moral failure. It is an automatism — an involuntary, non-stoppable behavior that once triggered leaves the addict powerless. It is a human problem and a part of human nature. As such, it is something that we all experience. In four to-the-point chapters, Thinking Simply About Addiction rises above the noise level and provides real-world help and new ways of thinking for addicts and those who care for them. Its insights are so profoundly clear and sensible that many readers will be able to say: Finally, someone gets it.
