Making a New World

Describes how a new world comes out of seeing and thinking differently. These talks from three seminars held in Baltimore in the 90's follow themes inspired by John Bennett's writings. Bennett regarded his writings, including his magnum opus The Dramatic Universe, as mere footnotes to Gurdjieff's All and Everything. These talks in their turn are footnotes to Bennett's. They explore what it is to act and create. The author has continued over decades an enquiry into the meeting points of Gurdjieff and Bennett's esoteric teachings and the ideas of modern philosophy, psychology and physics. They are based on taking seriously the uncertainty and incompleteness of our knowledge and recognising the enigma of our apparent existence.
