Observing Spirit

by Peter Rhodes

Preface by Jody Perkins

Jody Perkins and Ruth Zuber (editors)

Based on the teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff, P.D. Ouspensky, Maurice Nicoll, and Emanuel Swedenborg, Peter Rhodes presents a practical guide to spiritual progress. Stressing personal responsibility for overcoming negative traits, each chapter explains how we can realize our true spiritual potential by cultivating awareness of our baser reactions and by applying the tools of Gurdjieff’s spiritual method, “The Work,” to our everyday existence.

From the review by Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat:

This guidebook for spiritual progress has been edited by Jody Perkins and Ruth Zuber. The result is one of the best overviews of "the Work" (Gurdjieff's method) that we have read. . . . There are so many epiphanies here that it's hard to know where to begin. . . . Rhodes has done us all a real service by putting together this workbook on spiritual progress as something that must grow out of daily practice and concrete intention.
