This is the first of an intended eight volume series dedicated to the teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff and his student prodigy, P.D. Ouspensky. Volume One is mainly concerned with esoteric psychology according to Gurdjieff; with a few elements added from elsewhere. Most of what we see on our bookshelves today, pertaining to Gurdjieff and Ouspensky, belongs to the last century and is written in a form and style typical of that era. The exception being Gurdjieff's magnum opus - Beelzebub's Tales to his Grandson. It is my intention to create a synergy of all the materials out there and render them more accessible and lucid for the reader in this, the 21st century. In just eight volumes, I will present a synthesis of all those esoteric materials from the past - spread over perhaps as many as 200 volumes in all. The result will be a succinct collection of condensed and uniquely structured materials, which will provide the serious student of esotericism and the intelligent reader alike, with an unsurpassed guide to the Gurdjieff tradition and the wisdom transmission manifested with his arrival in Russia and Europe during the early part of the 20th century. A set of new diagrams pertaining to the subject of esoteric psychology is included in this volume - extrapolated by the writer from Gurdjieff's teachings on the subject.

Stop listening to the voice of the ego—desire, ambition, greed, selfishness—and instead open your heart, realize your interrelatedness with the world, and surrender to the stillness that exists inside you. Decide what kind of person you want to be and how to arrive at a place of satisfaction and joy.

Marie and Betty are roommates and best friends who attend the University of Toledo. Marie is a psychology major who finds true love and romance. Betty is a music major who loves not only music but singing and dancing. One night Marie and Betty go to a night club that changed their lives. Marie meets a young man who looks like her long time heartthrob Chuck Fields and Betty enters a singing contest for her love and passion for singing. Marie and Chuck begin a beautiful romance, while hiding a spiritual secret. I wrote INNER MIND based on some of my own personal experiences. INNER MIND also explores love and romance between Marie and Chuck that will make readers also fall in love with both characters. INNER MIND is an excellent story that is breath-taking and beautiful. It creates a piece of mind for the reader and helps them find themselves spiritually at peace in knowing the true name of our spiritual Father.

In the beginning, it was my purpose to find the body o a woman through the use of hypnosis. I wanted to show that, by proper use and knowledge, hypnosis could be used for many things more beneficial to mankind that entertainment. As it became evident that more important knowledge could be obtained from a source that is available only once in a lifetime, I left unfinished the search for the body of Mrs. Dolores Mae Siddall. Many hypnotists, including myself, have, through regression, made contact with entities on various levels; but never had I heard of anyone obtaining the level indicated by Rebecca. Many things not mentioned herein were received from this level—including others which will some day be made known to all those who are interested. To sum up, the following pattern of life has been established in these series of regressions: The Creation “God created man in his own image” (Genesis 1:27). A creation is made by the leader (God). This creation or entity is given knowledge of its purpose in life and schooled in the requirements for its purification by the teacher (Christ) and the masters (others, such as Buddha, Mohammed, etc.). Then, at the request of God—or by their own desire to learn and raise themselves to a higher perfection—they prepare to be born. (As one subject explained it, To change from a high vibration and frequency to a low vibration and solid.”) This preparation is made by studying the records supplied by god of the persons and the experience they will be born to; then, at their final decision, they make the entry into life. The Entry The entry is made, at the time of conception, by a force described as mass energy, when the soul is united with the physical body and the person begins a growth into life. The months during pregnancy are a growing, learning and resting period to prepare you for this life. If, at any time, you feel that you no longer want to complete or lice this life experience, you can return to the area of your accomplishment to further your learning and prepare for another life experience. (See Rebecca’s explanation of miscarriage.) We are told in regression that the soul must go down to go up—or come down into a life experience to learn that which is necessary to raise itself to a higher level of perfection. The Experience and Purpose We are told that a person’s life experience is determined before he makes his entry into it; and it is his own choice, the way that he conducts himself in this experience. Psychology says that what one’s environment is, and hereditary traits are, determine one’s personality, profession and way of life. If we accept the theory given from regressions, it would then seem that what environment and heredity contributes to your experience is the type of heredity and experience that you have selected, prior to being born, to advance your learning and perfection. We are told that we must learn everything, good and bad. This would mean that we must, through actual experiences, associations or study, know every phase of life and its environment to reach perfection. To Go Ahead It has been explained that we have only one life, but that we live many life experiences. What we term “death” is only the completion of one phase of the learning process. When we lose the will to live, when we feel that we can no longer learn to help ourselves or others, we may go ahead. We return to an area beyond, to a level of perfection where we are counseled by our God and masters to prepare ourselves for another experience. Each of us has free agency or fee will to decide what we want here and beyond. If we choose to stay in this beyond area, we can; but if we make this choice, we are then limited to the knowledge and perfection already gained. We may be able to move up in one area; but to reach the total; we must choose to live
