Richard Miller – Preliminary Plan to obtain the Material to Construct a Psychology of the Seekers of Truth
Back to Schedule of Presentations, 2020 Abstract The purpose of this paper is to give a first hand account of how I came to see Meetings with Remarkable Men as an allegorical work rather than an autobiography. I will first discuss my initial readings, the questions provoked, and how that led me to see a structure in […]
TJ Clark – The Sacred Neuroscience of Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson: A Neurologist’s Perspective
Back to Schedule of Presentations, 2020 Abstract Over the twenty-seven years that have passed since I began my neurology residency in New York, I have read numerous articles and texts, listened to lectures by a multitude of professors and other experts, reviewed countless MRI and CT studies of the brain and nervous system and, in […]
Trevor Stewart – A Universal Language: Gurdjieff’s exact language and new tools for insight into Beelzebub’s Tales
Back to Schedule of Presentations, 2020 Abstract “For an exact study, an exact language is needed.” These words, spoken by Gurdjieff, display one of his fundamental ideas regarding self-observation.

This paper explores the journey of the Boolmarshano from ancient Samlios in […]
Joseph Azize – Studying Gurdjieff’s Contemplative Exercises
Back to Schedule of Presentations, 2020 Abstract In “Gurdjieff: Mysticism, Contemplation, and Exercises,” I suggest that Gurdjieff brought not merely a philosophy, a system of “Western esotericism,” or an “Esoteric philosophy,” but rather a mystic discipline. There, I explain my view that, by 1930, Gurdjieff had concluded that something was missing in his teaching and […]
Jan Jarvis – Role of Abstract Ideals in the Creation of Kesdjan
Back to Schedule of Presentations, 2020 Abstract “I am Gurdjieff: I not will die” But, of course, he did. What could he have meant by this extraordinary declaration? Everyone dies; the physical body goes into the ground (or the crematorium) and it doesn’t come out again. In the chapter entitled ‘Religion’, Gurdjieff makes this very […]
