A cosmic odyssey of truth and transformation – Gurdjieff's masterpiece invites you to question everything you think you know.

In Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson, the mystic and philosopher G.I. Gurdjieff weaves a complex allegory in which the character of Beelzebub shares his observations of Earth and humanity across the ages. Through satire, symbolism, and cosmic narrative, the book explores the depths of human ignorance and the potential for awakening.

This is not a book to be consumed quickly. Gurdjieff challenges the reader to engage deeply, think critically, and dismantle mechanical habits of thought. It is both a spiritual puzzle and a philosophical journey toward greater consciousness.

After listening to this book, you will learn:

  • the fundamentals of Gurdjieff's Fourth Way system of self-development;

  • how to break free from automatic, unconscious behavior;

  • the spiritual significance of self-observation and inner work;

  • why human evolution depends on conscious effort and intentional living;

  • how allegory and myth can reveal deep psychological truths.

    Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson is not just a book – it is a transformative experience for those willing to take the path of inner discovery.
