Perspectives on Beelzebub’s Tales
A collection of essays offering new perspectives on Gurdjieff’s concepts of Kesdjan and higher being-bodies, Kundabuffer, the enneagram, involutional and evolutional law, perpetual motion, and ‘hydrogens’ relative to the scientific discoveries since Gurdjieff’s death. Second edition featuring a color cover, enhanced illustrations, a new addition to the appendix and errata corrections.
