Structured as a dialogue between the wise, interplanetary traveler Beelzebub and his curious grandson Hassein, the narrative explores profound themes such as consciousness, humanity's purpose, and cosmic laws. Through elaborate storytelling filled with symbolic language, Gurdjieff critiques human folly, mechanical behaviours, and spiritual ignorance. The complex, multi-layered text aims to awaken readers to deeper self-awareness and critical self-observation, central tenets of Gurdjieff's teachings.. Good with no dust jacket .
