INDEX AND STUDY GUIDE FOR BEELZEBUB'S TALES TO HIS GRANDSON BY G.I. GURDJIEFF

Nyland, Willem A., and His Groups

Edité par Land House, Occidental, 2010

Compiled by Willem Nyland and his groups; Not to be confused with the Traditional Studies Press 'Guide and Index', this one differs first by being especially reflective of Mr Nyland's perspective of which words and topics should receive focus, and that for the more important ones, multiple quotations are included, so the reader can follow the development of an idea, such as 'conscience' through the various references to it in the text; 858 pages. Terry Winter Owens, an early participant in the development of this index, has written, "This was not to be a simple index. Instead, Mr. Nyland intended what could more appropriately be called a glossary or concordance. He wanted the index to feature the most essential, definitive paragraphs from Beelzebub. Gurdjieff's style was to present fragments of information, partial definitions and layers of explanations at widely spaced intervals. Mr. Nyland believed that bringing together these related excerpts would help the serious student gain insight into the concepts and laws. In this way, one could parallel the task of Hassein, who was enjoined by Beelzebub to study the laws of World Creation and World Maintenance.". N° de réf. du vendeur 37376
