Of The Life Aligned

Frank Sinclair, author of Without Benefit of Clergy: Some Personal Footnotes to the Gurdjieff Teaching, has written a searching sequel to his earlier account of a life devoted to the exploration of the perennial wisdom. Drawn as a young man to the Greek-Armenian esotericist G.I. Gurdjieffs ideas about the Great Knowledgethe powerful ancient stream of true knowledge of being. Sinclair has spent half a century in this vocation. The present book recounts his ponderings on the unfolding reality of the perennialist vision following a near-fatal brush with the outer darkness and the passing of his wife of almost 50 years. In the process, he delves into the timeless mysteries of life and death.
