Story
This is the third volume in the All and Everything series, consisting of four books. These audiobooks are written according to entirely new principles of logical reasoning and strictly directed toward the solution of the following three cardinal problems. The third volume deals with the assistance of the arising, in the mentation, and in the feelings of the listener, of a veritable, non-fantastic representation not of that illusory world which they now perceive, but of the world existing in reality.

Story
As I wrote in the last chapter of the first series, I had given myself my word that during the whole of this time, I would do no writing whatsoever, but would only—for the well-being of the most deserving of these subordinate parts, slowly and gently—drink down all the bottles of old Calvados now at my disposal by the will of fate in the wine-cellar of the Prieuré, and specially provided the century before last by people who understood the true sense of life.

Gurdjieff and the Women of the Rope

Story
During the mid-30s in Paris, Gurdjieff drew together four women: Solita Solano, Kathryn Hulme, Alice Rohrer, and Elizabeth Gordon - and formed a special, mutually supporting work group. In allegory he explained: You are going on a journey under my guidance, an “inner-world journey” like a high mountain climb where you must be roped together for safety, where each must think of the others on the rope, all for one and one for all. You must, in short, help each other “as hand washes hand”, each contributing to the company according to her lights, according to her means.

-
Story
Although enormously attractive as sheer entertainment, Dervish tales were never presented merely on the level of a fable, legend, or folklore. They stand comparison in wit, construction, and piquancy with the finest stories of any culture, yet their true function as Sufi teaching stories is so little-known in the modern world, that no technical or popular terms exist to describe them. The material in Tales of the Dervishes is the result of a thousand years of development, during which Dervish masters used these and other teaching stories to instruct their disciples. The tales are held to convey powers of increasing perception unknown to the ordinary man.

Publisher's Summary
A recording of the reading of the first edition, published in 1950. An additional bonus chapter, The Holy Planet Purgatory from the 1931 typescript, is included.
Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson is Gurdjieff's world-famous cosmological epic. It examines human life on Earth from the viewpoint of beings belonging to a distant world, led by the all-wise Beelzebub. Through this cosmological allegory—rich in humour, anecdote, and linguistic elaboration—Gurdjieff demonstrates a methodology for the spiritual growth of all mankind.
The music in this audiobook is played by Wim van Dullemen and composed by G. Gurdjieff and Thomas de Hartmann. There are nine pieces of music, some of which have been documented in the Gurdjieff literature. The music was composed for specific chapters. The audio engineering for this audiobook is by Jason Joslyn.
About the narrator: Anthony Blake is a British author and researcher. Born in 1939, he studied physics and philosophy at Bristol University and Cambridge. He was a student of the physicist David Bohm. He worked with John Bennett, a leading endorser of the ideas of Gurdjieff, and was his main assistant in the writing of the last two volumes of Bennett’s The Dramatic Universe. He is the author of numerous books and articles on a wide range of topics and narrator of several audiobooks. He currently lives in Scotland. Some of his noted works are A Seminar on Time, The Intelligent Enneagram, The Supreme Art of Dialogue, and Gymnasium of Beliefs in Higher Intelligence.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A Triumph
I have now finished listening to the recording. I am more impressed than ever by Blake's measured reading. It features not only Gurdjieff's enigmatic text, but also a bonus chapter of the 1931 version of "The Holy Planet Purgatory." Some of what Gurdjieff says in that version, and not in the final, is of the first importance for any pupil of Gurdjieff.
Although Blake is a personal friend of mine, I found his reading measured but expressive, magisterial but not at all forbidding. He assumes the voice of both Beelzebub and Hassein. A triumph/
