J.G. Bennett, a brilliant and ambitious Englishman, was deeply influenced by the powerful ideas and practices of G. Gurdjieff. For most of his life, Bennett sought to develop these ideas further and to communicate them to others who were serious about questioning the meaning of their existence. This book was 1954, and while post-World War II Europe was recovering and hopeful, groups that had sprung up around Gurdjieff in the late 1940s were succumbing to sectarianism just five years after the death of their teacher. Bennett presents an extraordinary assimilation of the rich, complex system of ideas deliberately made obscure by the enigmatic Gurdjieff.
