Shortly before his death, G.I.Gurdjieff decided to publish the first of a series of his books which expresses his ideas in the form of a cosmological epic based upon the legend of Beelzebub. Beelzebub's banishment to our solar system brings him into contact with mankind.

Intimate relationships can be the most fulfilling aspect of our lives, yet they can also be fragile and fraught with difficulty. Romantic ideals can keep us hooked into unrealistic fantasies and derail our quest for true love. Also, we may find it difficult to know and express our authentic feelings, wants, and longings, which may lead to disconnection and disappointment. 
Being Intimate examines the ways that satisfying relationships can be achieved. By understanding our own feelings and wants and communicating them clearly, we can create a climate in which love and intimacy can flourish. Introducing and explaining practical techniques, which include a process called "Focusing" (described in detail), the authors show how we can develop connection and trust in our own felt experience, which leads to trusting others and life. For people entering new relationships or seeking ways of improving current partnerships and friendships, this book will be of immense and lasting value.

"The Dhammapada" is to Buddhism what the Sermon on the Mount is to Christianity: a simply summary of its teachings, expressed with harmony and simplicity. Probably gathered from Buddha's direct disciples who wished to preserve his wisdom, "The Dhammapada" is comprised of vivid, practical verse in the oral tradition of the 6th century BC. Translated as "the path of truth", "The Dhammapada" sets out the route taken by the path, which can be followed by anyone on a quest for the higher good. The first step on the path is thought. If we can think in a way that leads us to act in accordance with the teachings of Buddha, we can begin to shape our lives and experiences in a positive, fulfilling way. This, says "The Dhammapada", is the first step towards self-reliance.

History

The Fourth Way is the most comprehensive statement thus far published of the ideas taught by the late P.D. Ouspensky. Consisting of verbatim records of his oral teaching from 1921 to 1946, it gives a lucid explanation of the practical side of G. I. Gurdjieff's teachings, which Gurdjieff presented in the form of raw materials, Ouspensky's specific task having been to put them together as a systematic whole. Just as Tertium Organum deals with a new mode of thinking, so The Fourth Way is concerned with a new way of living. It shows a way of inner development to be followed under the ordinary conditions of life -- as distinct from the three traditional ways that call for retirement from the those of the fakir, the monk, and the yogi.\nThe Fourth Way is a guide for those who seek a true way of inner growth under conditions open to the men and women of today.

The Method of Zen

Eugen, Herrigel

This is a historical study of music contending that it is a powerful agent for self transformation, for the healing of body and soul and for awakening the spirit within. The collection reflects the view that from whatever age music emanates there is a close link between music, mysticism and magic and as illustration the author includes the spiritual and philosophical dimensions of the work of Plato, Plutarch, Kepler, Balzac, Gurdjieff, Schopenhauer and Stockhausen, Wagner and Schumann - none of these names may appear related but the common ground is shared through music.
