The Gurdjieff Journal
A triannual international journal, first published in 1992, now in its 60th issue.
When the mystic/guru G. I. Gurdjieff died in 1949, he left behind a curious yet influential body of teachings loosely centered on humankind's capacity for self-awareness. Gurdjieff's philosophy, often referred to as "The Work," still resonates with present-day freethinkers, as exhibited by the continuing presence (and recent redesign) of The Gurdjieff Journal …. The profiled issue contains worthwhile articles about Gurdjieff followers John Lester and Ethel Merston, as well as book, film, and art reviews about related works.

Famous quotes containing the words gurdjieff and/or journal:
“A considerable percentage of the people we meet on the street are people who are empty inside, that is, they are actually already dead. It is fortunate for us that we do not see and do not know it. If we knew what a number of people are actually dead and what a number of these dead people govern our lives, we should go mad with horror.”
—George Gurdjieff (c. 1877–1949)
“The Journal is not essentially a confession, a story about oneself. It is a Memorial. What does the writer have to remember? Himself, who he is when he is not writing, when he is living his daily life, when he alive and real, and not dying and without truth.”
—Maurice Blanchot (b. 1907)
