Publisher's summary

Learn the art of living in harmony with the higher self.

G.I. Gurdjieff was a great spiritual teacher of the early 20th century who blended mystical teachings from Sufism and the Middle East. He dazzled crowds throughout Europe and America and opened many seekers to higher realms of their inner awareness. His teachings remain highly relevant today and offer profound insights into how to contact and live in harmony with the higher self.

Join Mahamandaleshwar Swami Shankarananda - a spiritual master and best-selling author - as he takes you through some of the key teachings and practices of the Gurdjieff system in this lecture series. As Swamiji says, "Gurdjieff was the first spiritual figure I studied, and I was drawn to his ability to make sense of living. I believe he offers practical and profound advice for any person wishing to walk the spiritual path."

Swamiji’s unique and illuminating take on Gurdjieff recasts these esoteric teachings in ways that are accessible for everyone. His emphasis is on what is immediate, relevant, and practical in Gurdjieff’s work. Presented in an uplifting and entertaining style, each lecture comes with a guided meditation and recommended practices to follow by yourself.

Highlights include:

  • Developing your consciousness and inner strength
  • Building self-awareness
  • Improving relationships by external considering
  • The seven categories of humanity
  • Understanding the intellectual, emotional, and moving centers

Caution advised

Gurdjieff is gold waiting to mined, but be careful about Shankarananda. A quick Google will reveal enormous scandal at his ashram.

Intro to Gurdjieff

A good place to introduce the ideas of Gurdjieff, in a non condemning form. A few things are not correct with the teachings that G. conveyed though which may cause issues if the teachings are not gone over again personally.
