Overview

Gurdjieff clearly wanted his pupils to try to understand Objective Science. He left two accounts of it. One adorns the pages of In Search of the Miraculous; the other merges itself into the text of Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson. He described its study as a necessity - one of five obligolnian strivings. And yet, most books about The Work steer clear of the topic. This book moves in the opposite direction. It grasps the nettle-exploring the principles of Objective Science and explaining why it cannot be reconciled with Modern Science in its current form. It then proceeds to provide a clear description of the fundamentals of Objective Science: What are its methods? What does the Ray of Creation signify or imply? What are the Hydrogens and how are they derived? What are the implications of the Trogoautoegocrat? How are the elements formed? How does evolution happen? What is plasma and what is its role in the life of the whole cosmos? How do new planets form? Is the Moon really growing? Is the Earth itself growing? What is Man's place in the cosmos and how can we use the Step Diagram (see the front cover) to understand that? Is humanity really food for the Moon? If so, how? The author accompanies you on a journey of revelation. It's an intellectual adventure and a wild conceptual ride.

Author Information

"Robin Bloor was born in 1951 in Liverpool, UK. He obtained a BSc in Mathematics at Nottingham University and took up a career in the computer industry, initially writing software. From 1989 onwards, he became a technology analyst and consultant. He has thus been a writer, author and blogger of a kind ever since. In 2002, he was awarded an honorary Ph.D. in Computer Science by Wolverhampton University in the UK for ""services to the UK computer industry.""In 1988, after drifting through several work groups, Bloor met and became a pupil of Rina Hands. Rina was a one-time associate of J. G. Bennett, a student of Peter Ouspensky's, and later, a pupil of George Gurdjieff. Following Gurdjieff's death, she remained part of J. G. Bennett's group for a while. Subsequently, she formed groups both in London, where she lived, and in Bradford in the North of England - initially in conjunction with Madame Nott. She was both an accomplished movements teacher and an inspirational group leader.Bloor's respect for Rina Hands is hard to overstate. She was a powerful teacher with few equals in the Gurdjieff line. It was because of her influence that he became a devoted student of Gurdjieff's writings and of objective science. Rina died in 1994 and is buried in a grave adjacent to that of Jane Heap in a cemetery in North London.In 2002 Bloor emigrated to the United States. He currently resides in Austin, Texas from where he runs a Gurdjieff Group, the Austin Gurdjieff Society. He is also a member of a UK group, The Bradford Gurdjieff Society, which was, in times past, run by Rina Hands."
