Gurdjieff brought a vast system of psychological and cosmological
ideas to the West specifically suited for the spiritual needs and possibilities
of the contemporary world. The psychological ideas in particular were expressed
in a very exact language which resonates with the reality of everyday life
and can be verified by personal experience. These powerful teachings on human
transformation are congruent with the wisdom embodied in the esoteric heart
of many spiritual traditions such as Taoism, Zen, Tibetan Buddhism, Advaita
Vedanta and Sufism.
Further Explorations is intended to illuminate many of Gurdjieff's
essential teachings by enlarging the perspective to include the voices of
other authentic spiritual teachers and teachings.
