When Bennett first read All and Everything: Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson in 1948, he was convinced that it would have a powerful impact on all who came across it. He regarded it as a work of superhuman genius, containing expressions of reality which, by their very nature, were bound to make severe demands on any reader. With Gurdjieff’s approval, he undertook a series of lectures in London, between 1949 and 1974, focusing on the essential meaning of Beelzebub's Tales.
Those talks have been collected here.
Bennett doesn't just explain Gurdjieff’s complex language and ideas; he encourages readers to create meaning in themselves through their work and spiritual growth. He gives students the spade so they can do their own digging. Gurdjieff's work is a treatise on psychology, history, cosmology, ecology, sociology, art, science, religion-and much that is unclassifiable. Talks on Beelzebub's Tales presents a key to help us unlock and understand the mysteries of our selves.
