Description

The Teachers of Gurdjieff describes one man's journey to discover the sources of Gurdjieff's teachings. In the first half of the 20th century, George Gurdjieff was an influential spiritual teacher in the West. With a striking manner and appearance, Gurdjieff attracted many fashionable and influential pupils, while the sources of his teachings remained mysterious. In addition to recounting thrilling adventures in the souks of Baghdad and Aleppo, this book provides striking and timeless advice show more to those interested in finding spirituality. Its appeal is far beyond that of one seeker in one era, but offers us information for today on how to evaluate different forms of teaching, how to study, and even some tantalizing information on the role of Jesus. "You are scrabbling about in the sand, attracted by pieces of mica to knit together and make a window, not realizing that the sand itself is capable of being transformed into the purest glass." --from The Teachers of Gurdjieff show less

LOS MAESTROS DE GURDJIEFF

"Los Maestros de Gurdjieff" supone
un broche definitivo en los estudios
sobre un hombre que quizá ha sido
el más misterioso de este siglo,
por lo enigmático del origen de su
conocimiento. Frente a la necesidad
de descifrar tal misterio, Rafael Lefort
se convierte en protagonista de un
viaje a las fuentes de las que
Gurdjieff bebió. Esta asombrosa bús-
queda lo pone en contacto
con Maestros sufies, y condiscípulos
del mismo Gurdjieff.

Relato vivo, apasionante y ameno,
será de especial interés no sólo
para quienes han sido sorprendidos
por las enseñanzas de Gurdjieff
y Ouspensky, o con los escritos
de Pawels y Bergier, Castaneda
o Lobsang Rampa sino también
para todos aquellos que tienen
un interés más allá de los show more niveles
cotidianos de la vida.
