Description

This definitive edition of "Our Life with Mr. Gurdjieff" has been sadly out of print since 1992. The remarkable account of the de Hartmann's work with the great master has just been re-published in a beautiful new hard cover edition with dust jacket and numerous black & white photographs including three tip-in photos. The original edition has been substantially enlarged from unpublished material in the original Russian manuscripts of Thomas de Hartmann and further expanded from memoirs of Olga de Hartmann.

"Of the many forms in which G.I. Gurdjieff embodied his teaching, three stand out as unique: his system of ideas, his "Movements", and his music. in each case Gurdjieff worked with one particular pupil who had a special capacity to receive, absorb and transmit to others the material given. In relation to the ideas it was P.D. Ouspensky; for the Movements it was Jeanne de Salzmann; and for the music, Thomas de Hartmann. All three of them and their spouses have been major transmitters of Gurdjieff's teaching, and the figure closely in this book, which spans twelve years beginning in 1917."

Initiation: The Living Reality of an Archetype
Singer, June
Routledge

This book builds on the vast clinical experience of Jungian analyst Joseph Henderson, who studied initiatory symbolism in patients' dreams, fantasies, and active imagination, demonstrating the archetype of initiation in both men and women's psychology. This book's modern collection of essays shows how the archetype of initiation is seen clinically today. It explores the archetype of initiation in Henderson's own life, as well as amplifying and extending the archetype from early history up to the present. Initiation symbolism often underlies contemporary phenomena, but is rarely recognized; Initiation illuminates these experiences.
