THE TRUE MYTH: BERYL POGSON'S TEACHING ON GURDJIEFF'S ALL AND EVERYTHING. 2002.

Description: Great paperback copy in almost new condition. Back cover states "Eureka 2006" edition and copyright page states 2002. "Its limited print run suggests that this is a specialist book. Confirmation is given by its subject for, although the Fourth Way teaching of George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff has steadily attracted philosophical circles since early last century, even academically in recent years, his Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson remains a formidable work to comprehend.... Beryl Pogson's approach to the ideas hidden in the Tales evidently assumes that Gurdjieff does not demolish existing notions without giving clues how they can be supplanted by essential ideas ideas with the potential to help develop a responsive person's whole being. It is typical of what we see here of her teaching that she illustrates the need to avoid a void of this type by drawing a moral from the gospel parable of the room swept clean of a devil that then attracts seven worse devils. The True Myth examples of her teaching are not so much about explaining what this or that word might mean, as much as that might be desired, but in translating Gurdjieff's imaginative ideas into practical work. The book is a record, mostly verbatim, of Beryl Pogson's talks on these ideas to her Work groups in southern England. (The Work is the term given to Gurdjieff's "system" or "method" of human development; he is not seen as the originator of the Fourth Way, but as the agent of its resurfacing in our era.) In the main, she puts Beelzebub's ideas to work by assuming that its characters represent psychological elements of Everyman, particularly of course as represented by the pupils in her group and, interestingly, of Gurdjieff himself. The question-answer format of The True Myth allows readers to judge whether fresh understanding of themselves is gained by students who accept that the numerous "unbecoming" qualities detected by the alien but exceptionally perceptive Beelzebub apply to each's own psychology." - eurekaeditions.com
