Life Is Real Only Then, When "I Am" (All and Everything Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 184 ratings

All and Everything: Ten Books, in Three Series, of which this is the Third Series.

FIRST SERIES: Three books under the title of "An Objectively Impartial Criticism of the Life of Man," or, "Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson."
SECOND SERIES: Three books under the common title of "Meetings with Remarkable Men."
THIRD SERIES: Four books under the common title of "Life Is Real Only Then, When 'I Am.' "

All written according to entirely new principles of logical reasoning and strictly directed towards the solution of the following three cardinal problems:

FIRST SERIES: To destroy, mercilessly, without any compromises whatsoever, in the mentation and feelings of the reader, the beliefs and views, by centuries rooted in him, about everything existing in the world.
SECOND SERIES: To acquaint the reader with the material required for a new creation and to prove the soundness and good quality of it.
THIRD SERIES: To assist the arising, in the mentation and in the feelings of the reader, of a veritable, non-fantastic representation not of that illusory world which he now perceives, but of the world existing in reality.

This unedited edition has been compiled from the typescripts from the papers of Solita Solano and Jane Heap.
The chapters are in the following order:
Book I: Introduction, First "Lecture-Talk," Second "Lecture-Talk," Third "Lecture-Talk," Fourth "Lecture-Talk," Fifth American Lecture.
Book IV: Prologue, The Outer and Inner World of Man.
Numeration of each separate paragraph of Book IV has been retained.

Product description

About the Author

Gurdjieff was born in Alexandropol, and trained in Kars both as a priest and a physician. For some twenty years, he travelled in the remotest regions of Central Asia and the Middle East - this time was crucial in the moulding of his thought. With his party of followers, he was responsible for the opening of the Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man.

Other key works available from Arkana: BEELZEBUB'S TALES TO HIS GRANDSON, VIEWS FROM THE REAL WORLD and MEETINGS WITH REMARKABLE MEN.

    just amazing/Thanks
  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 November 2013
    Sadly Gurdjieff was apparently unable to finish his 'Great Trilogy' , of which this was intended to be the third installment ; in fact it seems to be a terribly incomplete 'botch job' and consequently doesn't contain much of interest . As far as I remember he died before having finished it and what is published here is more of a remnant than a complete book . A better book to learn the ideas of Gurdjieff from , and possibly the rightful 'third volume' of 'All and Everything', is the compendium of his speeches 'Views from The Real World' , posthumously collected and published by his close students. Personally, though, I'm not sure whether his ideas have any real validity or not ; He is a fascinating character , but much of what he claimed smacks of post-Victorian 'hokum' .

    Reviewed in Mexico on 15 September 2018
    Gurdjieff no es para cualquiera, tienes que alcanzar cierto grado de conciencia para poder entender y recibir todo lo que él tiene para darte. Es un libro que te hace esperar bastante para llegar al punto que estabas esperando, sin embargo eso lo hace excitante.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Remarkable book!
    Reviewed in India on 1 October 2016
    G.I.Gurdieff was a Master. This book is his last in the three series of books he wrote. And it is a summarising book of what's he wrote in his other books. It is concerned to search the fundamental aim of mans life on earth and existence. A very remarkable book written by an enlightened master.

    Amazon delivered it by the next day :-)
