THE GURDJIEFFGOURMET-'EATING THE I'
'EATING THE I' by William Patrick Patterson is a a 'FOURTH WAY' account of remarkable honesty and 'self' revelation which still leaves one wondering about many things,possibly in one's own 'ordinary life in ordinary time' which has always to be placed in juxtaposition to ETERNITY. All of Patterson's efforts,particularly his literary and lecture/workshop ones,seemed focused on maintaining 'THE GURDJIEFF MAINSTREAM' which has a few major tributaries and many minor streams and rivulets flowing from it. The videos that have been produced by his efforts serve well as a great stimulus to possible students of the 'arcane,esoteric, occult and related 'ologies' but also keepthose with 'longings' & 'aims' for THE FOURTH WAY on whatever trail they find themseves in 'ordinary life and in ordinary time': Watching and Re-watching over periods of time one gets many 'impressions' on all levels and on different scales.

'EATING THE "I"' has a special meaning in the writings of GURDJIEFF and needs to be elaborated upon. The topic is discussed in the works of A.R. ORAGE & C.S. NOTT,whose books should be consulted for some interesting, often overlooked, information,all of which is derived from ALL AND EVERYTHING by G.I. GURDJIEFF in the first series known as 'BEELZEBUB'S TALES(TO HIS GRANDSON)....that many find difficult to fathom in their first attempts to do so...
