With this book, his tenth and last, William Patrick Patterson completes his spiritual memoir. Eating The “I”, the first part, published in 1992, focused on his experience with his teacher Lord John Pentland, the man Mr. Gurdjieff chose to lead The Fourth Way in America. Questioning what is the self in self-remembering brought Patterson to the Dane Alfred Sorensen, given the name “Sunyata” by Ramana Maharshi who saw him as a rare-born mystic. Sunyata told him, “The witness is a high state, but only a state.” Through Sunyata, he met Jean Klein, the European Advaita master who holds that “Absence is the greatest presence.”

Talk & Book Signing: Growing A Soul on the Planet Earth

Posted on June 2, 2019June 2, 2019 by admin

Growing A Soul on the Planet Earth:
The Fourth Way & Esoteric ChristianityTechniques & Practices

Most of us think there are only two possible answers to the question: Do you have a soul? Either we have a soul, which will live beyond death, or there is no such thing as a soul, and when we die nothing of us remains. But what if neither of those answers is correct? What if, instead, we are not born with a soul, but we have the possibility of growing one?

Gurdjieff Reconsidered

Posted on January 29, 2019January 29, 2019 by admin

Gurdjieff Reconsidered:
The Life, the Teachings, the Legacy

“If Gurdjieff were shown this work, he probably wouldn’t say, as for P. D. Ouspensky, ‘Good journalist!’ but rather, ‘Aah…objective thinking!’ Or simply, ‘Bravo!’”

—Alexandre de Salzmann, vice president,
Institut G. I. Gurdjieff, Paris

The Greek-Armenian teacher G. I. Gurdjieff was one of the most original and provocative spiritual teachers in the twentieth-century West. Whereas much work on Gurdjieff has been either fawning or blindly critical, acclaimed scholar and writer Roger Lipsey balances sympathic interest in Gurdjieff and his “Fourth Way” teachings with a historian’s sense of context and a biographer’s feel for personality and relationships. Using a wide-range of published and unpublished sources, Lipsey explores Gurdjieff’s formative travels in Central Asia, his famed teaching institution in France, the development of the teacher.

The softcover book is 359 pages. $24.95 plus shipping with tax for California residents. Available Mid-February.
