Product Description
Winner of the WorldFest 2000 Gold Award “What is the sense and significance of life on Earth, and human life in particular?” This is the question which impelled G. I. Gurdjieff’s search for the origin of esoteric knowledge. Gurdjieff believed that the esoteric knowledge of ancient civilizations contained the answer to his question and so set out to find its origin. Gurdjieff in Egypt follows Gurdjieff’s search for pre-sand Egypt beginning with the Sphinx and Great Pyramid, to Thebes and the Temple in Man and Karnak, to the Valley of the Kings, the Temples of Edfu and Abu Simbel, and into Ethiopia where he unexpectedly discovers the origin of the ancient teaching of The Fourth Way.
Review
GURDJIEFF IN EGYPT IS ONE OF THE MOST UNUSUAL VIDEOS I or the other Convergence staff have ever seen. I have watched it at least four times and could probably watch it as many times more, learning something new with each viewing. The narrator, William Patrick Patterson, follows the track of G.I. Gurdjieff to the origin of ancient teachings, the basis of the esoteric teachings behind the perennial wisdom, to ancient, pre-sand Egypt. “Patterson draws the viewer into the esoteric meaning of many of the great treasures of the temples of ancient Egypt, decoding the art, architecture, hieroglyphics, and statuary. He brings particular understanding to the relationship between Horus and Set and the essential tension that binds light to dark, the spiritual to the material. He also comes to the astounding conclusion that prehistoric Egypt was Christian in its teachings, principles and ideas, many thousands of years before the actual birth of Christ. Highly recommended for the serious student. –Virginia K. Slayton, Editor, Convergence Magazine
