About this title

Synopsis

This is the author’s second journal and a sequel to his Teachings of A Pupil’s Journal. C. S. Nott relates events in his life from 1927 to 1949, both in Europe and America, telling of meetings with Gurdjieff in France, his friendship with A. R. Orage in England, and his contact with P. D. Ouspensky in England and, during the war, in America. The book includes an account of the time the author and his family spent with the Frank Lloyd Wrights at their estate Taliesin, in Wisconsin, and tells of his life at The Putney School, Vermont. The book contains a summary of Gurdjieff's strange booklet, Herald of Coming Good, which Nott distributes for Gurdjieff, and to an account of his contact with the various Gurdjieff pupils, especially during the war. Throughout the narrative there runs as a central theme the teaching of Gurdjieff, its impact on the author and his striving to carry what he had received from Gurdjieff.
