Originally in print in an edition limited to only twenty copies, and later a Penguin Arkana Edition, this important work of Ouspensky now becomes available again to a wider audience.
The combination of his own ideasÐÐgained from study, extensive travel and experiential researchÐÐand the teachings of Gurdjieff led Ouspensky to formulate his unique system for the appreciation and development of consciousness.
Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, he gave lectures and held meetings to discuss a vast range of subjects with his circle. Like "The Fourth Way" and "A Further Record", this book contains transcripts of numerous meetings at which Ouspensky answered questions on a great many issues ranging from evolution, the will, the self and religion to culture, thought and intelligence. From the precision of his responses and the acuity of his answers Ouspensky emerges as one of the most profound and influential masters of the spoken as well as the written word.
