From the Publisher
Based on notebooks kept by G.I. Gurdjieff''s closest follower, this
book offers new insight on his spiritual teachings-a way of
gnosis or "knowledge of being" passed on from remote
antiquity. It is a complete and uniquely authoritative guide to the
great teacher''s ideas and to his methods for liberating ourselves
from the state of "waking sleep" in which most of us live our
lives.
About the Author
Jeanne de Salzmann (1889-1990) was born in France and pursued a
career in music, dance, and theater. She met Gurdjieff in 1919 and
became his closest pupil. Before his death in 1949, Gurdjieff
directed de Salzmann to continue his work worldwide. She founded
centers in New York, Paris, London, and Caracas, Venezuela. Madame,
as she was called with respect, was an esteemed teacher in her own
right, transmitting the Gurdjieff Work and especially his
"Movements," or sacred dances.
