Seller's Description:
Very good. Tight, square spine has some very subtle ceasing. Former owner name to half-title, but interior is else clean and unmarked. There is a very small hole punched in the back cover and a one-inch crease to the front cover at the fore-edge foot. Gurdjieff once said, 'I bury the bone so deep that the dogs have to scratch for it, ' and here we find a classic example of this allegorical density: the mystic's philosophy is concealed in the stories told by Beelzebub, an extraterrestrial piloting the spaceship, Karnak, alongside his grandson, Hassein. It has been said that this grandfather-grandson relationship, spurred by Freud's theory that Judaism and Christianity suggest a relationship between father (Judaism) and son (Christianity), reflects a worldview that is both pre-Judaic and post-Christian. 402 pp. Western Esotericism.
