This first collection of essays examining Gurdjieff’s concepts offers new perspectives on Higher Being-bodies,
Kundabuffer, the enneagramatic nature of Beelzebub’s Tales, involutional and evolutional law, Kesdjan and Higher
Being-bodies, ‘perpetual motion’, and an extraordinary insight into Gurdjieff’s concept of the ‘hydrogens’ relative
to the scientific discoveries since Gurdjieff’s death.
Through reading
Perspectives on Beelzebub's Tales, the student may discover more than the ordinary share of ah
has, . . .. This book is a must-read for serious students of Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson, a book that has
long been needed by students of G. I. Gurdjieff's great space allegory. . . . As the editors of Dr. Buzzell's
Perspectives observe in the preface, “In it's intention, structure and content, The Tales is a unique and
unparalleled creation, which has a central and integral place among the other aspects of Gurdjieff's legacy."

Keith A. Buzzell’s
Perspectives on Beelzebub's Tales is very well worth reading and studying!
Sophia Wellbeloved, Author
It was because of my reading of . . .
Perspectives on Beelzebub’s Tales . . . that this writing came about.
In the chapter titled “Conviction,” Dr. Buzzell gives many examples from throughout Beelzebub’s Tales showing
the emphasis Gurdjieff placed upon convictions in general, especially those derived from one’s own reasoned
deliberations.
