Kenneth Walker's A Study of Gurdjieff's Teaching (1974 edition) offers a clear, personal exploration of Gurdjieff's ideas, focusing on humanity's "waking sleep" and the path to higher consciousness through "The Work," connecting it to Eastern traditions and Western mystics, using diagrams and comparative insights to make complex concepts like the Law of Three understandable for those new to the system, highlighting the practical application of self-observation and inner development.

Add to basketSoftcover. Condition: Very Good. Reprint. In this work Mr Walker draws some convincing comparisons between Gurdjieffâs teaching and that of Vedanta and of the Buddha and also with such western mystics as Hoehme and such men of science as William James. Mr Walker, with the help of diagrams, elucidates these mysteries as best he can, while admitting that they can only be known by a consciousness capable of living them. He has certainly succeeded in making them more humanly intelligible and acceptable. He expounds in outline the ideas themselves. He does it very well, quietly and unassumingly, not setting out the âsystem" in abstract terms but realising how he gradually came to know it and how it influenced him. 3-page list of Cape paperbacks to rear.

First Edition
Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Muy buen estado. Primera edición. 219 pp. Con esquemas. Cuando Ouspensky llegó a Londres después de la Primera Guerra Mundial y comenzó a dar a conocer lo que había aprendido en Oriente, y las enseñanzas de Gurdjieff por sobre todo, pronto se vio que éste había sido y era el gran maestro de la oculta sabiduría. Una audiencia heterogénea pero sedienta de saber concurría a sus clases, y se orientaba en un sistema de pensamiento totalmente inaudito hasta entonces. "El hombre es una máquina que reacciona ciegamente a las fuerzas externas. Lo que tenemos que estudiar no es psicología, que se refiere al hombre desarrollado, sino mecánica. El hombre es poseedor no de una solamente, sino de siete, y cada una procura una particular contribución a la suma total de sabiduría. La línea del conocimiento no es la misma que la del ser, y la última cosa que un hombre está dispuesto a abandonar es su sufrimiento. La observación de todas las formas que puede asumir la "emoción negativa", y la constatación del tremendo drenaje de energías que ellas provocan, induce a la comprobación de que esas emociones negativas son absolutamente artificiales e innecesarias, mientras que solamente el centro emocional es el gran preservador y el gran constructor". Y así, capítulo tras capítulo, un discípulo joven que luego alcanzó fama por la difusión de la doctrina de sus maestros, va desgranando las facetas de la gran simiente de la verdad aportando enseñanzas y reflexiones, y coronándolas con una invaluable colección de máximas de Gurdjieff, resumantes de milenaria sabiduría y rediviva esperanza de alcanzar la verdad. Este libro constituye pues una exposición sistemática y rica de las enseñanzas de uno de los esotéricos más extraordinarios en la historia de la cultura, cuya trascendencia para el pensamiento occidental está todavía por captarse en toda su significación.
