Human enlightenment and liberation, mystics have long advised,
require spiritual awakening from the hypnotic sleep of everyday
life. This book explores the life and ideas of the enigmatic
twentieth century philosopher, mystic, and teacher of esoteric
dances George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff (1872-1949), performing a
hermeneutic textual analysis of all his published writings to
illuminate the place of hypnosis in his teaching. The hermeneutic
approach captures both the aim for an in-depth textual analysis,
and the notion that the intent is to interpret the text using its
own symbolic and meaning structures. Systematically explored for
the first time is Gurdjieff's "objective art" of literary hypnotism
intended as a major conduit for the transmission of his teachings
on the philosophy, theory, and practice of personal self-knowledge
and harmonious human development. In the process, the nature and
function of the 'mystical' shell hiding the rational kernel of
Gurdjieff's teaching are explained - shedding new light on why his
mysticism is "mystical," and Gurdjieff so "enigmatic," in the first
place. The book includes a Foreword by J. Walter Driscoll, a major
bibliographer and scholar of Gurdjieff studies.
