The crucial observation that the "body-mind" must act as an ally and collaborator in human consciousness--or essence growth--is rounded out by actual experiments meant to demonstrate the highlighted concepts. This new edition includes chapter commentaries by students and practitioners who have used the suggested techniques! and features a new introduction by the author. "Not only Mr. Gold's most innovative book, but perhaps the most useful item in contemporary post-Gurdjieffian literature." --Dr. Claudio Naranjo, author, Character and Neurosis and The One Quest "E. J. Gold has hit the nail squarely on the head... To complete one's own inner transformation is the only task worth taking seriously. Everything else is secondary." --Robert S. de Ropp, author, The Master Game
