Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson: An Objectively Impartial Criticism of the Life Man - All & Everything/First Series

Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson: An Objectively Impartial Criticism of the Life Man - All & Everything/First Series by Georges Ivanovitch Gurdjieff. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780670841257.

Gurdjieff, in his writings, intended to "awaken" people to their own inner possibilities and potential. "Beelzebubs Tales To His Grandson", the three books that constitute the first series in Gurdjieffs trilogy "All and Everything", distills the essence of his ideas. This book examines life on earth from the viewpoint of beings belonging to a distant world, led by the "all-wise Beelzebub", who is able to perceive the weaknesses and follies of humanity and, through his compassion, can point the way towards possible regeneration. Through this cosmic allegory, Gurdjieff demonstrates a methodology for the spiritual growth of mankind.
