New York: Barnes & Noble, 1998. Hardbound in very good condition in a very good dust jacket.. 498 pages. Seymour-Smith is extraordinarily erudite, exhibiting an encyclopedic grasp of virtually every area of knowledge. From the I Ching, The Iliad and The Upanishads to Gurdjieff, Wittgenstein and B.F. Skinner, he has selected 100 books and/or authors that have significantly influenced the human paradigm (he includes T.S. Kuhn for making 'paradigm' a significant concept). In addition to including Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson, number 94 chronologically, he refers to aspects of Gurdjieff's teaching in the context of other influential works where he sees a correlation, in the Enneads of Plotinus, The Kabbalah and Soren Kierkegard. By 'Most Influential' Seymour-Smith does not mean great. He means significantly affecting human thought and perspective. He includes several authors he considers lacking in depth or insight, charlatan, even odious, due too his perception of their, misguided and unfortunate,… Read More

Land House, 2023. Fourth edition. Paperback in new condition.. Revised edition with an enumerated index and Additional Concepts, quotes from Mr. Nyland on some primary ideas; [vii], 431 pages; Expanded and corrected. The 1500s is a series of 100 meetings held by Mr. Nyland in 1968 and 1969 in various cities in the United States, from which excerpts were selected for the conciseness of the idea and obvious emotional content. Each is titled with a key word or phrase (e.g., Work is in life, Awareness, It is so simple) and these are arranged alphabetically. They are brief but clearly show Mr. Nyland's practical understanding of Work, his insistence on direct application, and that no group hierarchy is required to open the door-rather, group work is necessary for the development of Conscience in parallel with Consciousness. Includes a title index to find topics of interest.

2014. Paperback in new condition.. 704 pages. This book is a thoroughly edited version of the original 1931 manuscript of Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson by G. Gurdjieff. The text is, for the most part, unchanged from the original manuscript that was published in a limited edition in 1931 under the direction of A R Orage. However some editing to the text has been done to remove obvious typographical errors and to harmonize the spelling of Gurdjeiff's many invented names and neologisms to align with the later published version of this classic literary work. In addition a full index is provided, almost to the level of a concordance. It documents all changes to the neologisms and all edits, aside from typographical corrections made to the text. The attraction of this publication lies in the fact that although Gurdjieff approved this original edition for publication and hence regarded his writing effort as almost complete, he subsequently made significant changes to many parts of it, and hence reading… Read More
