The Gurdjieff Journal
A triannual international journal, first published in 1992, now in its 60th issue.
When the mystic/guru G. I. Gurdjieff died in 1949, he left behind a curious yet influential body of teachings loosely centered on humankind's capacity for self-awareness. Gurdjieff's philosophy, often referred to as "The Work," still resonates with present-day freethinkers, as exhibited by the continuing presence (and recent redesign) of The Gurdjieff Journal …. The profiled issue contains worthwhile articles about Gurdjieff followers John Lester and Ethel Merston, as well as book, film, and art reviews about related works.
