Book Description
The volumes of "The Force of Gurdjieff" Magisteria publishing collection reunite various rare, important and sometimes unknown texts written by people who were influenced by the remarkable force of the Gurdjieff's teaching. This volume reunites all the material from volumes 1, 2 and 5 in our collection. While being the only disciple acknowledged by Gurdjieff in his own writings, referring to him as "my inner world essence friend", Orage, besides having an important contribution to Gurdjieff's teaching through his help with the first translation of Gurdjieff's books in English language and through his own writings and lectures, was a crucial self standing spiritual figure through his own work and ideas. This book contains explanations of Gurdjieff exercises.

Book Description
"If you want to pursue in a Western way the path that we follow here at Mirtola, you need to study and work with the Gurdjieffian teaching." Thus did the guru Madhava Ashish, at their first meeting, invite American businessman Sy Ginsburg on a spiritual journey that would last 19 years (until the guru's death) and include both annual visits to Sri Madhava Ashish's Mirtola ashram, near Almora, in India's Himalayan foothills, and a lengthy correspondence. Along the way, the entrepreneur/author would not only be caught up in the teachings of G. I. Gurdjieff, but also in the search for the elusive unitive vision — the world viewed from the perspective of the greater Self and not the personality. In this remarkable spiritual document, the reader shares the search, increasingly catching glimpses of the unitive vision as the book draws toward a close that is also an opening out, into the vaster dimensions of the human mind.

Book Description
As we live in the age of electronic transmitted knowledge, we have compiled a short selection from Magisteria's Force of Gurdjieff volumes 1, 2 and 5 in order to present you with a taste of Gurdjieff's ideas presented by Alfred Orage at the groups in America. As far as we are concerned, these short texts are food for pondering, which represents that basic human activity leading to formal reasoning, as Orage used to say. They should be consumed and digested amidst our modern life for the special energy they release and this is why we have made them available as such. For the full texts of Orage transcriptions, please see the aforementioned volumes. You must also know that we have also prepared a complete, extended edition, on paper, for everyone who desires to have these three volumes under the same cover.

Book Description
This book is a revised and corrected addendum to the biography G. I. Gurdjieff, A New Life, which was published in 2008It is appropriate to justify presenting another book to the corpus of works about him, and to wonder whether there are enough interested readers to warrant its publication. The response is an emphatic "yes," for the ideas of Gurdjieff and their sources are not passing mid nineteenth century fads or fancies. Not only was he recognized during his lifetime as an important messenger of vital ideas (Taylor, Gurdjieff in the Public Eye), but since his death his ideas have moved in ever widening cultural circles everywhere. There are over fifty Gurdjieff groups in the Western world alone, and groups in Africa, South America and Australia. I estimate there are over forty thousand active followers of Gurdjieff's ideas, as well as countless others who are exposed to his fourth way concepts and designs such as his enneagram. Interest in Gurdjieff and studies of him are bound to continue expanding.

Book Description
G.I. Gurdjieff (d. 1949) remains an important, if controversial, figure in early 20th-century Western Esoteric thought. Born in the culturally diverse region of the Caucasus, Gurdjieff traveled in Asia, Africa, and elsewhere in search of practical spiritual knowledge. Though oftentimes allusive, references to Sufi teachings and characters take a prominent position in Gurdjieff's work and writings. Since his death, a discourse on Gurdjieff and Sufism has developed through the contributions as well as critiques of his students and interlocutors. J.G. Bennett began an experimental 'Fourth Way' school in England in the 1970s which included the introduction of Sufi practices and teachings. In America this discourse has further expanded through the collaboration and engagement of contemporary Sufi teachers. This work does not simply demonstrate the influence of Gurdjieff and his ideas, but approaches the specific discourse on and about Gurdjieff and Sufism in the context of contemporary religious and spiritual teachings, particularly in the United States, and highlights some of the adaptive, boundary-crossing, and hybrid features that have led to the continuing influence of Sufism.

Book Description
Scores of books exist about the life and teachings of the Russian spiritual visionary G.I. Gurdjieff (~1866-1949), yet few devote significant coverage to “the Gurdjieff Movements.” These several-hundred precise and mostly asymmetrical gestures, arranged into detailed choreographies for groups of practitioners, were designed by Gurdjieff himself. This new book reconsiders the eminent role of the Movements, revealing them as a vital yet often-neglected component in the transmission of Gurdjieff’s legacy. Van Dullemen, whose first Movements’ teacher received her instruction from Gurdjieff himself, is in a unique position to offer background, theory and first-hand experience about this subject. He is a professional musician and a long-time practitioner of the Gurdjieff work who trained in these Movements and served as a master accompanist for the practice for over thirty years. “No book can teach the Movements,” the author clearly asserts. And, he makes no such attempt here. Far from an instruction manual, The Gurdjieff Movements, A Communication of Ancient Wisdom, offers invaluable insight into and greater understanding of the whys and wherefores of this fourth arm of the vast teaching that comprises Gurdjieff’s complete communication: his books, his oral teachings, his music and finally his Movements. Along with fascinating stories of his own journey of discovery, van Dullemen has skillfully integrated: – autobiographical descriptions of the master Gurdjieff – interviews with direct pupils of Gurdjieff – diligent research within a wide range of firsthand sources – descriptions of the scientific, cultural and social climate during Gurdjieff’s time, and – the relationship between these and his teaching. The book is also a rare accomplishment. While highly authoritative, it is nonetheless written in a direct style with clear language, making it accessible to the public at large who may have interest, but little background, in this esoteric science and practice.
