The unfolding of the three brains makes Gurdjieff’s perceptions even more essential, and drives us to try to put them in a context — we have to integrate — to make biological evolution a whole inside of the Gurdjieff teaching. That has been my major interest in the last twenty years — to ask questions and try to bring these as close together as I can.

– Keith A. Buzzell, January 2011

 


FIFTH PRESS has published three volumes of essays by Keith A. Buzzell, each one an investigation of concepts contained in All and Everything, particularly in Beelzebub’s Tales, as well as in Ouspensky’s In Search of the Miraculous.

To Gurdjieff’s injunction to “fathom the gist” of his writings, Dr. Keith A. Buzzell brings fifty years of vigorous exploration and practice within the body of Gurdjieff’s ideas, integrated with his study of the sciences: biology, evolution, neurology and cosmology. Dr. Buzzell shares with students of the Fourth Way his search to find resonances between the scientific and spiritual worlds. Understanding is assisted by numerous illustrations throughout these beautifully produced workbooks.
