IT'S UP TO OURSELVES: A Mother, a Daughter and Gurdjieff is filled with unusual personal eye-witness accounts and over 950 photos of Gurdjieff and his intimates, many of which are first published here. It takes the reader from when the de Salzmann's joined Gurdjieff in Tiflis in 1919, to his death in 1949 and through the continuing development of the Work up to the present day. This remarkable mother/daughter memoir describes their personal relationship with Gurdjieff, through which we see his largest aim - the proliferation of his Work worldwide.
Jessmin on the Movements: "We realize in Movements that we rarely awaken to our life - inner and outer. We see that we always react in a habitual and conditioned way; we become aware that our three main centres, head, body, feeling rarely work together or in harmony; we begin to try to move always intentionally, not mechanically. And we discover in ourselves many hitherto unexpected possibilities; we find that one can collect one's attention, that one can be 'awake' at times and have an overall sensation of oneself. That quietness of mind, an awareness of body and an interest of feeling can be brought together and that this results in a more complete state of attentiveness in which the life force is freed and one is sensitive and open to higher influences. Thus, one has a taste of how life could be lived."

Orders may be reserved by phone, Fax or e-mail. Because many titles

be long out-of-print or scarce. We continue to provide an effective
search service for out-of-print books in many fields. Please send us a

Our guarantee:
We have attempted to thoroughly describe all books. However, any item

For the protection of your investment and the appearance of your
library we put a protective plastic cover on every book we sell that
has a dust jacket. Although this is relatively common in the
out-of-print book market, it is very rarely done on new books. However,
our appreciation of the books we sell requires that we do what we can
to keep every book sold in the best possible condition for years to
come and to last through multiple readings. If there are any other
actions we can take to serve you better please let us know.
Thank you for your interest and support.
