G.E. Poole is a nothing and a nobody. Outwardly leading an ordinary life as a householder, from an early age he was drawn to physics, logic, science, philosophy and the quest for consciousness. At age 22 he entered The Work through the J.G. Bennett line of transmission through the Claymont Society. In 1982 he migrated to New Zealand to become a pupil of Sufi Shaikh Abdullah Isa Dougan.
Subsequent to the passing of Abdullah in 1987, he continued study and practice of his teachings for over 30 years. In 1990 he met Sufi Master Irina Tweedie in London, and from 1992 had substantial direct close personal contact with Taoist Master Hua Ching Ni. Presently, he resided in Queensland, Australia.
