El trabajo en el cuarto Camino

Estos relatos concebidos inicialmente para ser leídos en alta voz en un círculo restringido de alumnos y de invitados hablan del período menos conocido de la vida del maestro espiritual Gurdjieff: su infancia, su juventud y las primeras etapas de su búsqueda. 

No se trata de una autobiografía en el sentido estricto de la palabra. Para Gurdjieff, el pasado solo merece ser narrado en la medida en que resulte «ejemplar». Lo que él sugiere en estos relatos no son ejemplos para imitar exteriormente, sino toda una manera de ser frente a la vida, un testimonio que nos toca directamente y nos hace presentir una realidad de otro orden.

In How to Be, an internationally acclaimed authority on meditation, psychotherapy, and healing provides unique and valuable insights into the principles underlying all forms of meditation. Naranjo's lucid and inspiring exploration places sacred thought within the framework of modern psychology, clarifying ancient wisdom for the contemporary seeker and meditator. His brilliant elucidation of the four types of meditation (not-doing, letting-go, mindfullness and God-mindedness) will be useful and enlightening for anyone pursuing spiritual practice. This book includes an essay published in the long out-of-print classic On he Psychology of Meditation and features important, previously unpublished material detailing new research and thought, including essays on the relationship between meditation and psychotherapy and the role of music as an aid to meditation and healing. Incorporating original insights and scientific research with inspiring passages from many traditions, Naranjo show that all meditative disciplines provide us with important lessons not only how to meditate, but "how to be." --- from book's back cover
