A seminar on time

by A.G.E. Blake

Based on transcriptions from a seminar held at Claymont Court, West Virginia, this is an experiential as well as theoretical exploration. Its frame of reference is taken from the ideas of G.I. Gurdjieff and J.G. Bennett. It explains the concept of three kinds of time and how they relate to life, dreams, progress and spirituality. And it includes exercises and discussions that bring the concepts into living experience. The text is enriched with remarkable drawings by Phyllis Peltz Bolton. Written in 1979, this book remains relevant as an exposition of Bennett's ideas on time.

"Different people at
different times and for
different reasons have spoken about this from
different points of view."


Heady stuff. Not the brilliant mind-bending book I expected after reading Blake's book on the enneagram, however this is from a seminar, much of it is probably transcripted from his talks, and also it was not intended as a general book (for everyone) but probably as a supplement for those who attended the seminar, and who tried exercises given at the seminar etc.

Still I found it interesting in an intellectual sense.

For those interested in books about Time,
I would recommend "The Body of Time:And The Energies of Being" by Bruce Thomas
and/or "Living Time:And The Integration of The Life" by Maurice Nicoll
