The third book in this four-book series offers practical and illuminating insights into how to fathom the gist of Gurdjieff's masterpiece. The intention is that it will serve the serious reader to delve deeper into Gurdjieff's remarkable book. In the previous books in this series teh author described and explained how to approach The Tales. In this volume he demonstrates teh techniques he advocates. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the first half of The Arousing of Thought, the first chapter of Beelzebub's Tales. - Why does The Tales have two titles? - Why is the "ALL" on the original cover of the book capitalized? - Who were the Ancient Toulousites? - Exactly what is that crazy lame goat, - or the midwife's lozenge of cocaine for that matter. The suggested answers that this book provides are intriguing. But perhaps of greater value to the reader is the author's explanation of Gurdjieff's grammar of associations-the grammar he employed to write the book in his "ignorance" of the "bon ton literary language of the intelligentsia."
Author's Biographical Notes¿Robin Bloor was born in 1951 in Liverpool, UK. He obtained a BSc in Mathematics at Nottingham University and took up a career in the computer industry, initially writing software. From 1989 onwards, he became a technology analyst and consultant. He has thus been a writer of a kind ever since. In 2002 he was awarded an honorary Ph.D. in Computer Science by Wolverhampton University in the UK. He currently resides in and works from Austin, Texas in the USA.¿In 1988, after drifting through several work groups, Bloor met and became a pupil of Rina Hands. Rina was a one-time associate of J. G. Bennett, a student of Peter Ouspensky's, and later, a pupil of George Gurdjieff. Following Gurdjieff's death, she remained part of J. G. Bennett's group for a while. Subsequently, she formed groups both in London, where she lived, and in Bradford in the North of England-initially in conjunction with Madame Nott. She was an accomplished movements teacher and an inspirational group leader. She died in 1994 and is buried next to Jane Heap in a cemetery in North London.¿Bloor leads a group, The Austin Gurdjieff Society, in Austin, Texas. Aside from the usual movements and Work activities, the group specializes in the study of Gurdjieff's writings and the study of Objective Science, as articulated by Ouspensky in In Search of The Miraculous, and by Gurdjieff in The Tales.¿
