Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson (G.I. Gurdjieff)
$2.99 Smoked
[My 2-star amazon review (NDA) of Beelzebub’s Tales to his grandson” by G.I. Gurdjieff.]
If I’d donated the $2.99 I spent for this Kindle edition to the Clinton Foundation, I’d at least I’d have something to show for my money – 18 cents working to cure diarrhea in Africa, and the other $2.81 providing Bill Clinton with tip money for one of the broads he bangs. But as it is, I’m stuck with a worthless digital copy of “Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson,” which is nothing more than a tome of Gurdjieffian gobbledygook that may impress the Fourth Way ignoranti (who are too clueless to know there is no “Fourth Way”), but repulse any rational individual seeking spiritual Truth.
It had been 45 years since I’d perused a copy of this book, and once I read a few pages, I remembered why I didn’t buy a copy after checking it out at a bookstore.
If you enjoy reading nonstop, nonsensical cosmological crap, then don’t let my review discourage you from purchasing this book. But if you’re interested in real esoteric spiritual teachings, rather than the the psedo-esoteric crap produced by Gurdjieff, check out the spiritual teachings/traditions of Ramana Maharshi, Tibetan Dzogchen, Hindu Kashmir Shaivism, Adi Da’s Daism, Christian Hermeticism, and Electrical Spirituality.
