Download or read book Gurdjieff written by Joseph Azize and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020-01-13 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is the first analysis of all of Gurdjieff's published internal exercises, together with those taught by his students, George and Helen Adie. It includes a fresh biographical study of Gurdjieff, with ground-breaking observations on his relationships with P.D. Ouspensky and A.R. Orage (especially, why he wanted to collaborate with them, and why that broke down). It shows that Gurdjieff was, fundamentally, a mystic, and that his contemplation-like methods were probably drawn from Mt Athos and its hesychast tradition. It shows the continuity in Gurdjieff's teaching, but also development and change. His original contribution to Western Esotericism lay in his use of tasks, disciplines, and contemplation-like exercises to bring his pupils to a sense of their own presence which could, to some extent, be maintained in daily life in the social domain, and not only in the secluded conditions typical of meditation. It contends that he had initially intended not to use contemplation-like exercises, as he perceived dangers to be associated with these monastic methods, and the religious tradition to be in tension with the secular guise in which he first couched his teaching. As Gurdjieff adapted the teaching he had found in Eastern monasteries to Western urban and post-religious culture, he found it necessary to introduce contemplation. His development of the methods is demonstrated, and the importance of the three exercises in the Third Series, Life Is Real only then, when 'I Am', is shown, together with their almost certain borrowing from the exercises of the Philokalia.

Book Synopsis Classical Spirituality in Contemporary America by : Michael S. Pittman
Download or read book Classical Spirituality in Contemporary America written by Michael S. Pittman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-08 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 Synopsis Everyday Mysticism by : Ariel Glucklich
Download or read book Everyday Mysticism written by Ariel Glucklich and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A scholar’s experiences inside a contemplative working community in Israel’s Negev desert In this thoughtful and enlightening work, world renowned religion scholar Ariel Glucklich recounts his experiences at Neot Smadar, an ecological and spiritual oasis that has been thriving in the arid Southern Israeli desert for a quarter century. An intentional community originally established by a group of young professionals who abandoned urban life to found a school for the study of the self, Neot Smadar has thrived by putting ancient Buddhist and Hindu ideas into everyday practice as ways of living and working. Glucklich provides a fascinating detailed portrait of a dynamic farming community that runs on principles of spiritual contemplation and mindfulness, thereby creating a working environment that is highly ethical and nurturing. His study serves as a gentle invitation to join the world of mindful work, and to gain a new understanding of a unique form of mystical insight that exists without exoticism.
Book Synopsis Rethinking Religion in the Theatre of Grotowski by : Catharine Christof
Download or read book Rethinking Religion in the Theatre of Grotowski written by Catharine Christof and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-27 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book opens a new interdisciplinary frontier between religion and theatre studies to illuminate what has been seen as the religious, or spiritual, nature of Polish theatre director Jerzy Grotowski’s work. It corrects the lacunae in both theatre studies and religious studies by examining the interaction between the two fields in his artistic output. The central argument of the text is that through an embodied and materialist approach to religion, developed in the work of Michel Foucault and religious studies scholar Manuel Vasquez, as well as a critical reading of the concepts of the New Age, a new understanding of Grotowski and religion can be developed. It is possible to show how Grotowski’s work articulated spiritual experience within the body; achieving a removal of spirituality from ecclesial authorities and relocating spiritual experience within the body of the performer. This is a unique analysis of one of the 20th Century’s most famous theatrical figures. As such, it is a vital reference for academics in both Religion and Theatre Studies that have an interest in the spiritual aspects of Grotowski’s work.

Download or read book Acorns: Windows High-Tide Foghat written by Joshua Morris and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-01-23 with total page 973 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acorns delineates the future of humanity as a reunification of intellect with the Deep Self. Having chosen to focus upon ego (established securely by the time of Christ), much more beta brain wave development will destroy our species and others, which process has already begun. We create our own realities through beliefs, intents and desires and we were in and out of probabilities constantly. Feelings follow beliefs, not the other way around.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Russian Religious Thought by : Caryl Emerson
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Russian Religious Thought written by Caryl Emerson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-04 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Russian Religious Thought is an authoritative new reference and interpretive volume detailing the origins, development, and influence of one of the richest aspects of Russian cultural and intellectual life - its religious ideas. After setting the historical background and context, the Handbook follows the leading figures and movements in modern Russian religious thought through a period of immense historical upheavals, including seventy years of officially atheist communist rule and the growth of an exiled diaspora with, e.g., its journal The Way. Therefore the shape of Russian religious thought cannot be separated from long-running debates with nihilism and atheism. Important thinkers such as Losev and Bakhtin had to guard their words in an environment of religious persecution, whilst some views were shaped by prison experiences. Before the Soviet period, Russian national identity was closely linked with religion - linkages which again are being forged in the new Russia. Relevant in this connection are complex relationships with Judaism. In addition to religious thinkers such as Philaret, Chaadaev, Khomiakov, Kireevsky, Soloviev, Florensky, Bulgakov, Berdyaev, Shestov, Frank, Karsavin, and Alexander Men, the Handbook also looks at the role of religion in aesthetics, music, poetry, art, film, and the novelists Dostoevsky and Tolstoy. Ideas, institutions, and movements discussed include the Church academies, Slavophilism and Westernism, theosis, the name-glorifying (imiaslavie) controversy, the God-seekers and God-builders, Russian religious idealism and liberalism, and the Neopatristic school. Occultism is considered, as is the role of tradition and the influence of Russian religious thought in the West.

Book Synopsis Journey From Ego by : Elizabeth Lehl
Download or read book Journey From Ego written by Elizabeth Lehl and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2014-11-07 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The angels' greatest wish is to assist us in completing the tasks we set for ourselves when we wrote the contracts that guide our lives. Archangel Jophiel tells us that ego-identification is sidetracking us from our life purpose and destroying our planet. Here, in a message of great hope, she reminds us that our only purpose on earth is to love and care for each other, and provides a prescription for healing our lives and our planet through the act of unconditional love. In Journey from Ego you will learn: - How the trance of living under the influence of the ego results in fear and anxiety, separatism, war and the destruction of our planet. - How the ego-voice manipulates us into believing its voice is that of our own mind. - How living outside of the influence of the ego-mind allows us to remember our life purpose and the reason for our incarnation into this earth-bound life. - To recognize the voice of the ego and to request the assistance of the angels in keeping it at bay - How quieting the voice of the ego allows us to clearly hear the voice of God and Her angels. - How remembering our essence and our holiness will heal our lives and affect the evolution of our earth.
Book Synopsis Compassion for the Human Condition by : William J. Welch M. D.
Download or read book Compassion for the Human Condition written by William J. Welch M. D. and published by Epigraph Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. William J. Welch and Mrs. Louise M. Welch met in 1934. Mrs. Welch had been part of A. R. Orage's Gurdjieff group in New York City since the late 1920s and Dr. Welch, in the midst of a career change from advertising to medicine, joined the Work soon after they met. They married in 1941. During Gurdjieff's last trip to New York, in the winter of 1948-49, the Welches participated extensively in Gurdjieff's daily activities. Summoned to Paris by Gurdjieff, Dr. Welch was the attending physician during Gurdjieff's last illness in October 1949. After Gurdjieff died, the Welches were among a small group of his followers in New York who carried on the teaching and established the Gurdjieff Foundation of New York. Dr. Welch was the president of the Foundation from 1984 until his death in 1997. The Welches worked with groups in New York, Toronto, and Halifax, including the "Friday group," which met at their brownstone in New York. It is from meetings of the Friday group that transcripts were selected for this book. The teaching of G. I. Gurdjieff places great emphasis on work in groups. In that setting, there can be both an oral transmission of the teaching as well as an opportunity to share experiences and observations in conditions characterized by efforts of conscious attention and sincerity. The result can be a more clear understanding of one's own inner reality. One begins to feel the truth of how one actually is during day-to-day existence, but at the same time, can experience a taste of one's greater possibilities. When starting out in the Work, as the Gurdjieff teaching is now generally called, the guidance of a group leader is needed. The ideas and practices of the teaching are far subtler than they may at first seem. After many years this is not so necessary, and one can meet with one's peers. The group chronicled in this book had worked together at length, some for twenty years or more. Nevertheless, as one can see from questions and responses in the meetings, everyone benefited from being exposed, again and again, to the Welches' clear understanding of both the difficulty and the grandeur of what had been brought to the world by Mr. Gurdjieff.

Book Synopsis The Struggle of the Magicians by : George Ivanovich Gurdjieff
Download or read book The Struggle of the Magicians written by George Ivanovich Gurdjieff and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The market square where various streets and alleys meet: around it, shops and stalls with every variety of merchandise - silks, earthenware, spices; open-fronted workshops of tailors and shoemakers. To the right, a row of fruit stalls; flat-roofed houses of two and three stories with many balconies, some hung with carpets and others strewn with washing. To the left, on a roof a tea shop further on, children are playing; two monkeys are climbing on the cornices. Behind the houses are seen winding streets leading to the mountain houses, mosques, minarets, gardens, palaces, Christian churches, Hindu temples, and pagodas. In the distance, on the mountain is seen the tower of an old fortress. Amongst the crowd moving about the alleys and the market square, types of almost every Asiatic people are to be met with, clad in their national costumes: a Persian with dyed beard; an Afghan all in white, with proud and bold expression; a Baluchistani in a white turban with a sharp peak to it and short white sleeveless coat with a broad belt, out of which stick several knives: a half-naked Hindu Tamil, the front of his head shaved and a white and red fork, the sign of Vishnu, painted on his forehead;. a native of Khiva wearing a huge black fur cap and a thickly wadded coat: a yellow-robed Buddhist monk, his head shaved and a prayer-wheel in his hand; an Armenian in a black ‘chooka’ with a silver belt and a black Russian forage cap; a Tibetan in a costume resembling the Chinese, bordered with valuable furs; also Bokharis, Arabs, Caucasians and Turkomans. The merchants cry their wares, inviting customers; beggars with whining voices beg for alms; a sherbet-vendor amuses the crowd with a witty song. A street barber, shaving the head of a venerable old ‘hadji’ recounts the news and the gossip of the town to a tailor who dines in the adjoining eating house. A funeral procession passes through one of the alleys; in front is a ‘mullah’ and behind him the corpse is borne on a bier covered with a pall, followed by the women mourners. In another alley a fight is in progress and all the boys run there to watch. On the right, a fakir with outstretched arms, his eyes fixed on one point sits on an antelope skin. A rich and important merchant passes along ignoring the crowd, his servants follow him, carrying baskets laden with purchases. Then appear some exhausted beggars, half-naked and covered with dust, evidently just arrived from some famine area. At one shop Kashmir and other shawls and materials are brought out and shown to customers. Opposite the tea shop, a snake-charmer seats himself and is at once surrounded by a curious crowd. Donkeys pass by, laden with baskets. Women walk along, some wearing the ‘chuddar’ and others with unveiled faces. A humpbacked old woman stops near the fakir and with a devout air, puts money into the coconut almsbowl standing near him. She touches the skin on which he is seated and goes away: pressing her hands to her forehead and eyes. A wedding procession moves by: in front are gaily dressed children, behind them buffoons, musicians and drumbeaters. The towncrier passes, shouting at the top of his voice. From an alley is heard the din of the copper-smith’s hammers. Everywhere there is noise, sound, movement, laughter, scolding, prayers, bargaining - life bubbling over.
