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 Gurdjieff's then unpublished books and lectures and was known as "The Reader" for her presentations at many venues from 1928 through the end of the 1940's. Originally a student of Alfred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 The Shadows of Heaven written by Paul Beekman Taylor and published by Weiser Books. This book was released on 1998-05-01 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A great deal of mystery surrounds G.I. Gurdjieff and "The Work." Today, many on the path of selfexploration find themselves drawn to the symbolism of the enneagram, and to Gurdjieff's other teachings. Gurdjieff was undeniably charismatic many famous and influential people lived in his "shadow," accepting his guidance while changing and transforming their lives. Shadows of Heaven focuses on the relationship between Gurdjieff and the poetnovelist Nathan Jean Toomer, from 1924 until Gurdjieff's death in 1949, as well as each man's relationship with Edith Annesley Taylor and her son Paul, the author of this book. Caught in the middle of this tense triad of interests was the English criticpublisher A.R. Orage, who was close to all three parties, and whose wife, Jessie, was Edith's best friend. Paul Taylor's unique life experience has made it possible for him to combine his mother's memoir's conversations between Toomer and Gurdjieff, and entries from Jessie Orage's diary into this fascinating book. It is probably the first to reveal something of Gurdjieff's "love life" with the mothers of his children. Several new descriptions of Gurdjieff's voyages with his pupils reveal aspects of Gurdjieff's character not documented elsewhere. Excerpts from Jessie Orage's diaries testify to the magnetic attraction Gurdjieff exercised over those he felt were viral to the dissemination of his ideas. With 16 pages of neverbefore published photographs, this book presents a fresh new picture of Gurdjieff and his teaching, adding to his legend a tangible humanity to which we can all relate.
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.
