Glimpses into Beelzebub's Tales offers peeks into Gurdjieff's view of the world as a living, unified, and understandable whole. Although he gives sage advice for a spiritual journey, revealing our place and purpose in the universe, Gurdjieff's psychological and cosmological treasures are hidden from view by our own habits of thinking and feeling. These days-when we no longer teach our children how to write by hand and people communicate using acronyms, emojis, and abbreviations-his use of language and syntax may be "indigestible" without a little explication.
Glimpses into Beelzebub's Tales should be thought of as a companion reader or a beginner's guide to the ultimate self-help/how-to reference book on spiritual development. By going chapter-by-chapter through Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson, Glimpses focuses on a few ideas in each in an effort to scratch a toehold into Gurdjieff's opus for anyone seeking a new hope-filled paradigm to live by.
