Jeanne Salzmann (67 results)

Paperback. Condition: Good. An important book on liberating ourselves from the state of "waking sleep" in which we live our lives, as taught by one of the most influential spiritual teachers of the 20th century As the closest pupil of the charismatic spiritual master G. I. Gurdjieff (1866-1949), Jeanne de Salzmann was charged with carrying on his teachings of spiritual transformation. Known as the Fourth Way or "The Work," Gurdjieff's system was based on teachings of the East that he adapted for modern life in the West. Now, some twenty years after de Salzmann's death, the notebooks that she filled with her insights over a forty-year period (and intended to publish) have been translated and edited by a small group of her family and followers. The result is this long-awaited guide to Gurdjieff's teaching, describing the routes to be traveled and the landmarks encountered along the way. Organized according to themes, the chapters touch on all the important concepts and practices of the Work, including: * Awakening from the sleep of identification with the ordinary level of being * Self-observation and self-remembering * Conscious effort and voluntary suffering * Understanding symbolic concepts like the Enneagram * The Gurdjieff Movements, bodily exercises that provide training in Presence and the awareness of subtle energies * The necessity of a "school," meaning the collective practice of the teaching in a group Madame de Salzmann brings to the Work her own strong, direct language and personal journey in learning to live that knowledge of a higher level of being, which, she insists, "you have to see for yourself" on a level beyond theory and concept. De Salzmann consistently refused to discuss the teaching in terms of ideas, for this Fourth Way is to be experienced, not simply thought or believed.…

dj. Third printing. 320 pages. Based on notebooks kept by Madame de Salzmann, this book offers new insight on his spiritual teaching-a way of gnosis or "knowledge of being" passed on from remote antiquity. It is a complete and uniquely authoritative guide to the great teacher's ideas and to his methods for liberating ourselves from the state of waking sleep in which most of us live our lives.Madame de Salzmann's writings will challenge longtime followers and even confound readers who are unfamiliar with Gurdjieff's teaching. Everyone will have the opportunity to recognize the limits of his or her understanding, that is, open to a sense of the unknown that Madame would call the threshold to reality."Man remains a mystery to himself. He has a nostalgia for Being, a longing for duration, for permanence, for absoluteness-a longing to be. Yet everything that constitutes his life is temporary, ephemeral, limited. He aspires to another order, another life, a world that is beyond him. He senses that he is meant to participate in it."He searches for an idea, an inspiration, that could move him in this direction. It arises as a question: "Who am I-who am I in this world?" If this question becomes sufficiently alive, it could direct the course of his life. He cannot answer. He has nothing with which to answer-no knowledge of himself to face this question, no knowledge of his own. But he feels he must welcome it. He asks himself what he is. This is the first step on the way. He wants to open his eyes. He wants to wake up, to awaken." Hardbound in very good condition in a very good dust jacket.…

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. UNA NOSTALGIA POR EL SER El hombre sigue siendo un misterio para sí mismo. Padece una nostalgia por el Ser, un anhelo de duración, de permanencia, de Absoluto: un anhelo de ser . Sin embargo, todo lo que constituye su vida es temporal, efímero, limitado. Él aspira a otro orden, a otra vida, a un mundo que está más allá de él. Siente que su propósito es participar. Busca una idea, una inspiración, que pudiera moverlo en esa dirección. Esto surge como una pregunta: «¿Quién soy yo? ¿Quién soy yo en este mundo?» Si esa pregunta llega a ser lo suficientemente viva, podría dirigir el curso de su vida. Él no puede responder. No tiene nada con qué responder. Ningún conocimiento de sí para enfrentar esa pregunta, ningún conocimiento que le sea propio. Sin embargo, siente que debe darle la bienvenida. Se pregunta a sí mismo qué es él. Éste es el primer paso en el camino. Quiere abrir sus ojos. Quiere despertar. Basado en los cuadernos escritos por la más cercana discípula de G. I. Gurdjieff, este libro ofrece una nueva comprensión de su enseñanza espiritual: un camino de gnosis o «conocimiento del ser», transmitido desde la más remota antigüedad. Es una guía completa y excepcionalmente autorizada, una guía hacia las ideas del gran maestro y hacia su método para liberarnos a nosotros mismos del estado de «sueño despierto» en el cual la mayoría de nosotros vivimos nuestras vidas. Gurdjieff respetaba las prácticas religiosas tradicionales y las consideraba dentro de tres categorías o «caminos» generales: el camino del faquir, relacionado con el dominio del cuerpo físico; el camino del monje, basado sobre la fe y el sentimiento, y el camino del yogui, centrado en el desarrollo de la mente. Él presentó su enseñanza como un «Cuarto Camino», que integraba estos tres aspectos dentro de una vía única de conocimiento de sí mismo. El progreso en el «Cuarto Camino» se produce a través del esfuerzo consciente hacia una calidad de pensamiento y sentimiento que aporta una nueva capacidad de ver claramente y de amar. JEANNE DE SALZMANN nació en 1889 en Reims (Francia), y creció en Ginebra (Suiza). Se casó en 1912 con Alexandre de Salzmann, un reconocido pintor ruso, y lo acompañó de regreso a su hogar natal en Tbilisi, en la región montañosa del Cáucaso, al sur de Rusia. Conoció a Gurdjieff en 1919 en Tbilisi, se integró a su trabajo y permaneció cerca de él hasta su muerte, en París, treinta años más tarde. Antes de morir, Gurdjieff encargó a la señora De Salzmann que viviera «más de cien años», hasta establecer su enseñanza. Le legó todos sus derechos sobre sus escritos y sus ejercicios de danza, llamados los «Movimientos». Durante los siguientes cuarenta años ella dispuso la publicación de sus libros, así como la preservación de los «Movimientos», y estableció centros Gurdjieff para la práctica de la enseñanza en París, Nueva York, Londres y Caracas. La señora De Salzmann falleció en París en 1990, a la edad de 101 años. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
