Recalling Gurdjieff's intent for his first series: "To destroy,
mercilessly, without any compromises whatsoever, in the mentation
and feelings of the reader, the beliefs and views, by centuries
rooted in him, about everything existing in the world." For years
Gurdjieff's followers have been working, reading, struggling to
understand his writing. We are like miners chipping away at the
rocks of his books, seeking the dog he so carefully buried. That
"dog" has been waiting patiently to be disinterred, but we have
been digging with the wrong tools. A few new "shovels" and "picks"
which may be helpful are suggested in this book. They are here for
the taking; use them as you will. As a word of caution, though, be
careful when you pull the dog out. He can be, at times, a bit wild.
And let's face it, he's probably hungry after fifty years
underground. That is to say, that dog could jump up and bite the
legs right out from under some of your more treasured beliefs - or
it might even bite you somewhere dearer. The purpose of the second
series is "To acquaint the reader with the material required for a
new creation, and to prove the soundness and good quality of it."
It is a ripening of time. The seeds of Gurdjieff's Picture-form
language have been planted for over five decades, and are now ready
to burst through the soil of our Psyche to reveal the holographic
images of the messages he intended for us. And the purpose of the
third series: "To assist the arising in the mentation and in the
feelings of the reader, of a veritable, nonfantastic representation
not of that illusory world which he now perceives, but of the world
existing in reality." "And with regard to languages (Russian
andEnglish)," Gurdjieff said, "both these languages are like the
dish which is called "Moscow Solinka," and into which everything
goes except you and me, in fact everything you wish and even the
after dinner chesma (veil) of Sheherazade. And from behind that
veil Gurdjieff's hand now reaches to pull back the curtain,
enabling us to see, if we will but open our eyes to the images
hidden behind the words, the esoteric teachings of the ages through
which all things become possible. Emily and Sophia Henderson
