About the author

John Godolphin Bennett (8 June 1897 – 13 December 1974) was a British mathematician, scientist, technologist, industrial research director and author. He is perhaps best known for his many books on psychology and spirituality, particularly on the teachings of G. I. Gurdjieff. Bennett met Gurdjieff in Istanbul in October 1920 and later helped to co-ordinate the work of Gurdjieff in England after Gurdjieff's arrival in Paris. He also was active in starting the British section of the Subud movement, and co-founded its British headquarters.

Reviews

[Sonic · Rating 5 out of 5]

With a very articulate sincerity John G. Bennett illuminates difficult mystical material. Though unfinished, this last book really shows how he had not only been in search most of his life, but in addition to developing his philosophy he also refined his ability to communicate it
and about it.

Though he never truly got to the part of sharing exercises as the book had intended, this is a very nice and concise encapsulation of his views after having studied with Gurdjieff and others.
