Book excerpt: This is the first in a series of three books that provide the reader with the ability to directly compare the text of Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson with the text of its earlier draft, The 1931 Manuscript. Despite the differences between the two versions, the text of both bear the mark of Gurdjieff. They are permeated with his rhythm and style. In some chapters, the text of the two versions is very similar, while others show clear and revealing differences. If you have not met with The 1931 Manuscript before, when you read some of its distinctly different chapters, you can get the impression you're reading a book of Gurdjieff's you haven't encountered before. The subject matter may be familiar, but the text feels "new." There are two main reasons why someone would choose to acquire this book. 1)Those who have not read The 1931 Manuscript may acquire it as an interesting way to access this book. 2)As part of an effort to "try and fathom the gist" of The Tales.

This book was released on 2007-04-19 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recalling Gurdjieff’s intent for his first series: “To destroy, mercilessly, without any compromises whatsoever, in the mentation and feelings of the reader, the beliefs and views, by centuries rooted in him, about everything existing in the world.” For years Gurdjieff’s followers have been working, reading, struggling to understand his writing. We are like miners chipping away at the rocks of his books, seeking the dog he so carefully buried. That “dog” has been waiting patiently to be disinterred, but we have been digging with the wrong tools. A few new “shovels” and “picks” which may be helpful are suggested in this book. They are here for the taking; use them as you will. As a word of caution, though, be careful when you pull the dog out. He can be, at times, a bit wild. And let’s face it, he’s probably hungry after fifty years underground. That is to say, that dog could jump up and bite the legs right out from under some of your more treasured beliefs – or it might even bite you somewhere dearer. The purpose of the second series is “To acquaint the reader with the material required for a new creation, and to prove the soundness and good quality of it.” It is a ripening of time. The seeds of Gurdjieff’s Picture-form language have been planted for over five decades, and are now ready to burst through the soil of our Psyche to reveal the holographic images of the messages he intended for us. And the purpose of the third series: “To assist the arising in the mentation and in the feelings of the reader, of a veritable, nonfantastic representation not of that illusory world which he now perceives, but of the world existing in reality.” “And with regard to languages (Russian and English),” Gurdjieff said, “both these languages are like the dish which is called “Moscow Solinka,” and into which everything goes except you and me, in fact everything you wish and even the after dinner chesma (veil) of Sheherazade. And from behind that veil Gurdjieff’s hand now reaches to pull back the curtain, enabling us to see, if we will but open our eyes to the images hidden behind the words, the esoteric teachings of the ages through which all things become possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. - from publisher of different edition.

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.

Book excerpt: In Gurdjieff and Music Johanna Petsche examines the large and diverse body of piano music produced by Armenian-Greek spiritual teacher G. I. Gurdjieff (c.1866-1949) in collaboration with his devoted pupil Thomas de Hartmann (1885-1956). Petsche draws on a range of unpublished materials and data from original field research to critically situate and assess this music within its socio-cultural and unique religio-spiritual context. Focusing on the tremendous role that music played in the life and teaching of Gurdjieff, Petsche chronicles the unique relationship and collaboration between Gurdjieff and de Hartmann, analyses the styles and possible sources of their music, and explores Gurdjieff’s ultimate intentions for the music in light of his esoteric teaching.
