Review:
"Back home again and finally finished reading The Supreme Art, which I found to be a supreme account of the state of mankind and the hopes of our attaining normality in the cosmic realm of life. While it combines science, religion, psychology and philosophy, as well of course simply talking and listening, I was struck most forcefully by the feeling that this is the best prescription I have read of a way to further Gurdjieff's work. Other readers, naturally, will find Gurdjieff references incidental but I think you have directed many of his ideas to new, inner realms." Bob Hunter --bob hunter
"Living in the era of information and knowledge, people are chained to facts. In a series of stimulating chapters this book invites us to enquire into the making of meaning. Public life is reduced to ideology which provides the leaders of society with a ready-made, taken-for-granted perception of society that the citizen has to accept as absolute truth. This book offers an antidote to slipshod thinking, also showing how dialogue like dreaming, can be creative by organizing thinking into new holistic patterns, leading us to the infinite."

"This book is a valuable attempt to explore the possibilities of dialogue from a multi-disciplinary perspective and 'stretches the envelope' to include concepts from physics and mysticism as well as from the more orthodox material of Group Analysis. Blake's advocacy of structure in meaning-making challenges many current assumptions and he introduces some new theoretical approaches that offer much food for thought."
