About this listen
"The event which compels me into this book was my meeting with the celebrated mystic, teacher, and philosopher, George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff, whom I encountered as if by chance and came to love as if by design."
Kathryn Hulme's life was radically changed and enriched by the influence of Gurdjieff. Undiscovered Country is a tribute to him and his teachings, a vivid personal memoir of her experience as his student, and of the burning spiritual intensity that dominated her life as a result of his influence.
"This is a 'must' for all interested in Gurdjieff and his school, and strongly recommended for all who are concerned in the Pilgrimage of the Soul. It gives the best intimate picture I know of what it meant to be a 'follower of Gurdjieff's ideas'." (J. G. Bennett)
"A picture of the relation between a teacher and his pupil...the way he opens her to a wider world through a relation which touches the whole of one’s being." (Jeanne de Salzmann)

Gurdjieff and the Women of the Rope

Story
During the mid-30s in Paris, Gurdjieff drew together four women: Solita Solano, Kathryn Hulme, Alice Rohrer, and Elizabeth Gordon - and formed a special, mutually supporting work group. In allegory he explained: You are going on a journey under my guidance, an “inner-world journey” like a high mountain climb where you must be roped together for safety, where each must think of the others on the rope, all for one and one for all. You must, in short, help each other “as hand washes hand”, each contributing to the company according to her lights, according to her means.

Story
Continuing our study of man, we must now speak with more detail about the different states of consciousness. As I have already said, there are four states of consciousness possible for man: Sleep, waking consciousness, self-consciousness, and objective consciousness; but he lives only in two: Partly in sleep and partly in what is called waking consciousness. It is as though he had a four-storied house, but lived only in the two lower stories.

Story
In Tertium Organum Ouspensky questions the assumptions we have about our world. In relation to our cognition of the world and of ourselves the conditions would be ideal if it were possible to accept nothing as data and regard everything as requiring definition and proof. In other words, it would be best to assume that we know nothing, and take this as our starting point.

The Enneagram is one of the most robust and informative tools for investigating some of the deeper layers of the self, yet the full power of it is not always taught. Leading scholar Russ Hudson teaches, “Too often, the Enneagram is viewed as a set of simple personality types that lock us into fixed ideas about ourselves. In reality, it’s a dynamic tool for transformation.” With The Enneagram: Nine Gateways to Presence, Hudson shares an in-depth audio training on how to use this powerful system the way it was originally intended.

I will explain this to you shortly".

A young woman is in love with a successful surgeon, a man torn between his love for her and his incorrigible womanizing. His mistress, a free-spirited artist, lives her life as a series of betrayals—while her other lover, earnest, faithful, and good, stands to lose everything because of his noble qualities. In a world where lives are shaped by irrevocable choices and fortuitous events, and everything occurs but once, existence seems to lose its substance, its weight. Hence we feel “the unbearable lightness of being."

Story
In The First Man, Albert Camus tells the story of Jacques Cormery, a boy who lived a life much like his own. Camus summons up the sights, sounds, and textures of a childhood circumscribed by poverty and a father's death yet redeemed by the austere beauty of Algeria and the boy's attachment to his nearly deaf-mute mother. The result is a moving journey through the lost landscape of youth that also discloses the wellsprings of Camus's aesthetic powers and moral vision.

These lectures were intended by Ouspensky as introductory material for people interested in the work in England. This material is still unmatched as a brief statement of the work's psychological ideas. Designed to be read aloud at weekly meetings of small groups of people interested in the work, they are almost a basic primer of Gurdjieff's psychological ideas on consciousness and spiritual development.

Undiscovered Gurdjieff
Perhaps one of the most touching narratives along with Firtz Peters' on Gurdjieff and his work in practical and human terms. Hulme achieves what many of Gurdjieff pupils haven't: to show the human behind the Master. Not only a beautiful tale but a profound and strong reflection on Gurdjieff's teaching. Recommended even for non followers of the Work. Amazing book.

Undiscovered Country review
I loved the story but had a hard time understanding the narrator’s speaking for Gurdjieff and his accent. The narrator also mispronounced a number of words such as “raison d’etre” .
I loved the story and found it to be a wonderful portrayal of her teacher Gurdjieff .

A valuable resource for Gurdjieff studies
Having this great chronicle in audio form is a valuable contribution to the corpus of Fourth Way literature available on Audible. The narrator’s vocal timbre and pacing is excellent. I am concerned that neither the reader nor the director of the audiobook caught the significant errors in the pronunciation of many of the words. It seemed like a cold first-time read-through. These mispronunciations, not only of words from the Fourth Way lexicon, but also of ordinary words from everyday life, provide a major distraction to the flow of the text. Particularly hard to take was the persistent mispronunciation of “Beelzebub”, which is central to Gurdjieff’s magnum opus. Because it is a book on the Fourth Way, I used these mispronunciations as an opportunity to remember myself, and I kept going with the audiobook. I believe the mispronunciations were honest mistakes, and should have been caught by the director at least, but since it is a Gurdjieff book, one can’t be completely sure they were simply mistakes. Perhaps they are a way to separate the sheep from the goats! Definitely worth purchasing and listening to many, many times.

Can’t understand this accent.
Who reads with an accent that can’t be understood? Ruined the whole reading. The accent is used more than the regular voice.
