Toward Awakening is a masterful introduction to the Fourth Way path of self-realization and an in-depth exposition of Gurdjieffian psychology and anthropology. A must for all students of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky, and sure to be of benefit to all sincere seekers of truth and realization.
“For the growing number of people seeking to approach the ideas of Gurdjieff, Toward Awakening by Jean Vaysse offers reliable guidance, as well as evidence of the continuing vitality of this remarkable teaching. It may be counted as among the small handful of books that communicate something of what Gurdjieff brought.” – Jacob Needleman
