“ To see, to know, to wish, and to love come from a free attention ,” says Michel de Salzmann, who guided the Gurdjieff Work worldwide from 1990-2001. “I am coming out of a state of belief and prejudice. I become aware. Perception of a very fine energy vitalizes the body. It is a state of greater sensitivity in which a focus emerges allowing the blazing up of another consciousness.” Dr. Michel de Salzmann (1923-2001) was a direct pupil of G. I. Gurdjieff and played a very active role in the transmission of a teaching that guides one to awaken in the midst of everyday life. Evident here is Dr. de Salzmann's unique ability to speak in a way that opens the listener to "the inexhaustible dimension of Attention." Here are notes, translated from the French, including questions and answers, taken from the journals of two of Michel de Salzmann’s students present with him at group meetings in Switzerland (1983-2000). Jean-Pierre Marville writes in his Foreword, “These words have the power to awaken in us a new and authentic understanding, … to call us to the essential, that is to say quite simply to be in the moment.” Topics include these: Practice of Work Feeling and Will Guilt, and Remorse of Conscience Conscious Work About Suffering On Education On Human Types Special Work Fragments from Group Meetings On the Way From a review by Lee van Laer, former Senior Editor, Parabola Magazine: "The material is absolutely outstanding. For myself, I’m quite certain that the work Michel brought us is exactly right. Another thing that touches me enormously is his understanding of our psychology. I think he had a different level of understanding of what that consists of and how it relates to our work. It would be difficult to overstate the insight, weight, and value of what Michel has to say to us about the inner life. This is a book that ought to be on every bookshelf. Let’s just say, it is a gem."
