This video is an introduction to Gurdjieff's magnum opus, Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson, or An Objectively Impartial Criticism of the Life of Man.
As there is no introductory chapter in the text, although one could consider the first chapter 'The Arousing of Thought' to be so, I will be sharing various forms of information to help us understand what we are about to undertake with this study of Beelzebub's Tales!
We will begin with the blurb of the edition I will be reading from, as well as several synopses from various sites. Then we will look through the table of contents to get a gist of some of the chapters, and the flow of the book. After this, I will read a brilliant essay of commentary on Beelzebub's Tales by Terry Winter and Suzanne D. Smith which gives a really great insight into what we can expect.
Lastly, I will address the questions and comments in the chat, and hopefully, we can have a discussion about what we have learned during the stream.
We will begin our study of the text tomorrow, and any questions that might arise during this project are welcome!
