Description:
Tight, square spine has some creasing. Clean, unmarked interior. A small hole is punched in the back cover. Some very subtle foxing to the edges. Gurdjieff once said, 'I bury the bone so deep that the dogs have to scratch for it,' and here we find a classic example of this allegorical density: the mystic's philosophy is concealed in the stories told by Beelzebub, an extraterrestrial piloting the spaceship, Karnak, alongside his grandson, Hassein. It has been said that this grandfather-grandson relationship, spurred by Freud's theory that Judaism and Christianity suggest a relationship between father (Judaism) and son (Christianity), reflects a worldview that is both pre-Judaic and post-Christian. 410 pp. Western Esotericism.

First line
Among other convictions formed in my common presence during my responsible, peculiarly composed life, there is one such also-an indubitable conviction-that always and everywhere on the earth, among people of every degree of development of understanding and of every form of manifestation of the factors which engender in their individuality all kinds of ideals, there is acquired the tendency, when beginning anything new, unfailingly to pronounce aloud or, if not aloud, at least mentally, that definite utterance understandable to every even quite illiterate person, which in different epochs has been formulated variously and in our day is formulated in the following words: "In the name of the Father and of the Son and in the name of the Holy Ghost. Amen."
