Synopsis

“Everything we need is here in us. Everything for fuller being. There is a kind of sacred descent of attention that can bring this about. Seeing the obstacles, thoughts, feelings, yes, perhaps a pressure that keeps me from it. But if I can relax inside, just allow the pure attention to flow in, be in that. Very natural. It’s what we are. Attention: a sacred energy coming into me. Be sensitive to it. Recognize again and again that it is there.” --Michel de Salzmann

Dr. Michel de Salzmann met for many years with people from around the world interested in the Gurdjieff Work, a teaching that guides one to awaken in the midst of everyday life. He speaks of a subtle energy that is both sacred and accessible. In the instant one recognizes this energy and consciously receives it, one awakens and begins to be. Evident even in these fragments of 78 talks at Chandolin (1993-2000), recollected by Fran Shaw, is Dr. de Salzmann’s unique ability to speak in a way that opens the listener to “the inexhaustible dimension of attention.”

“Absolutely terrific…. A book, if you will, outside the realm of books. It carries the authentic flavor of inner work as it is practiced today. There is a tangible intimation of the sacred in every passage. I very highly recommend this book to all readers.”

--Lee van Laer, Senior Editor of PARABOLA
