Gurdjieff: Making a new world by John G. Bennett

Gurdjieff, who died in 1949, made a profound impact upon those who met him even casually. He founded a world-wide movement, and attracted a circle of remarkable men and women whose lives were changed by their contact with him.

His message was a controversial one - that man as he is cannot "do" anything, but is the victim of amazing self-delusions. The prospects held out for the future are very exciting - if only man is willing to change. Gurdjieff was far ahead of his time; many of his ideas are now being discovered by contemporary science, especially in the far-reaching interdependence of life and energy beyond the purely sensory terrestrial levels.

Bennett was in touch with him for 30 years, and became one of the principal teachers of Gurdjieff's ideas for the transformation of man. This book has become an important source-work, since more than any other study, it analyses Gurdjieff's teaching, its sources, his writing, and their extraordinary relevance today.
