Refreshingly contemporary commentaries distilled from talks given by George Jeffery as an introduction to the fundamental ideas of the Gurdjieff teaching. Many regard it as the clearest introduction to what is referred to as the 'Work' or the 'Fourth Way'. \u003cem\u003eA Bridge to Reality\u003c\/em\u003e not only explains Gurdjieff's ideas, it also gives an idea of what it entails to be in a Gurdjieff group and what is required to follow the teaching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the end of each chapter questions and answers selected from various meetings cover common queries about the teaching and its practice. A central tenet of the teaching is highlighted - that it is for each person to confirm the fundamental truth of the teaching for themselves. It is certainly not presented as a 'doctrine' to be followed without question. Indeed it could be said that active questioning is central to the practice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCovering all key topics, it serves both as introduction and an invaluable reference for the experienced.
