Paperback. Condition: Good. MY LIFE WITH MR. BEELZEBUB, in addition to being a penetrating study of Gurdjieff's opus, is the story of one man's immersion into the tales of Beelzebub and how this gave a direction to his life and brought him into the Work. Mesa presents us first with his life lessons and leanings, and then demonstrates in penetrating detail, how he was able to apply all that he had learned from this book. In personalizing his study in this way, he reveals his growth of self as the result of plumbing the depths in Beelzebub's Tales, through which he came to understand himself in accordance with the objective truths and governing laws of our life on Earth. And this of course was Gurdjieff's intention: that the material of one's life becomes the food for the transubstantiation of one's Being.
 
 The book is written in a simple language, without pretentions of being an encyclopedic work. It reflects the experience of Mesa as shown in the chapter An experiment extracted from Beelzebub's Tales. Mesa uses the factual language of engineering, as he is an engineer by trade, to convey his message. This book is highly recommended for those who want to use Beelzebub's Tales in their own search for the meaning of life on Earth.…

sewn PAPERBACK, fresh copy, appears unused. BUTLER, PIERCE. A child of the sun. Mount Desert, Maine: Beech Hill Publishing Company, 2016, 181pp., . "In 1922, the New Zealand writer Katherine Mansfield was on the verge of literary celebrity. She was the friend of Virginia Woolf and D. H. Lawrence, and her remarkable stories were changing the way people thought about the form. But she was also deeply unhappy in her marriage to John Middleton Murry and she was dying of tuberculosis. When she abandoned the nomadic life of an invalid in search of the ideal climate and put herself in the hands of George Ivanovich Gurdjieff, she was taking a step into the unknown. A mystic of Greek and Armenian parentage, Gurdjieff had traveled extensively among esoteric communities in the East before he fled the Revolution in Russia and established himself as a teacher in France. His Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man occupied the Prieuré de Basse Loges, a magnificent chateau in the woods of Fontainebleau. When Katherine Mansfield left Paris to live at the Prieuré, she ceased to write in her celebrated Journal. Taking up where the Journal leaves off, A Child of the Sun follows the course of Mansfield's inner life at the Prieuré, recounting her meetings with the remarkable people who had gathered about Gurdjieff: the editor and critic Alfred Orage; Olgivanna Hinzenberg, future wife of Frank Lloyd Wright; P. D. Ouspensky, whose books introduced Gurdjieff to the West. Mansfield is at first put off by Gurdjieff's rough and ready manner, and his offhand treatment of his students. But as her understanding of his method grows and as her physical condition deteriorates she experiences his great compassion and perceives the possibility of attaining the inner freedom that has eluded her throughout her life.".
