With Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson, G. I. Gurdjieff intended to "destroy, mercilessly . . . the beliefs and views about everything existing in the world." This novel beautifully brings to life the visions of humanity for which Gurdjieff has become esteemed.

Incomprehensible. This is what would happen if you threw Sufism, Gnosticism and Scientology into a blender. The author recommends reading this through three times to understand it. I made it a little over halfway before my eyeballs were twitchin' and my brain was itchin'. Smoke this book, it'll really get you out there! ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
First words
Among other convictions formed in my common presence during my responsible, peculiarly composed life, there is one such also—an indubitable conviction—that always and everywhere on the earth, among people of every degree of development and understanding and of every form of manifestation of the factors which engender in their individuality, all kinds of ideals, there is acquired the tendency, when beginning anything new, unfailingly to pronounce aloud or, if not aloud, at least mentally, that definite utterance understandable to every even quite illiterate person, which in different epochs have been formulated variously and in our day is formulated in the following words: "In the name of the Father and of the Son and in the name of the Holy Ghost, Amen."

Book description
Dit boek is voor hen, die innerlijk weten of vermoeden dat het leven, dat ons is toevertrouwd naast het getrouw vervullen van onze uiterlijke verplichtingen en het nastreven van uiterlijke doeleinden - hoe nodig en zinvol dit ook als zodanig is - een veel en veel dieper zin moet hebben en die intens verlangen die zin te doorgronden en bereid zijn zich daarvoor in te zetten.
